What it says it does

Tennessee Health Care Campaign (THCC) was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in 1989 with a vision for all Tennesseans to have affordable, high quality, and equitable health care. Over the course of our 30-year history, we have led advocacy efforts to expand Medicaid to pregnant mothers and children, served as an ombudsman program to help TennCare applicants, and mobilized volunteers to support direct outreach and enrollment of uninsured Tennesseans.
