ABOUT BLACK HEALTH MATTERS - TENNESSEE

Black Health Matters – Tennessee is part of a national movement to eradicate the racism that is at the root of biases and disparities in healthcare. We are working together to elevate health justice and eliminate inequities, so that all Tennesseans can live full and healthy lives.   

THE CRISIS

Black people have experienced a reality in which the systems that are set up to serve them frequently leave them severely underserved. State government policies deny them health coverage, add to their medical debt and restrict access to health care resources while failing to monitor and enforce compliance with our nation’s Civil Rights law.
