This project is funded under a grant contract with the State of Tennessee.
Mission
Project Access was created to help uninsured individuals get the health care they need by linking local physicians, hospitals, and local health clinics that agree to donate their services to the individuals and families in need of health care services.
Why is Project Access Needed?
Many people in West Tennessee do not have health insurance. They work hard in one or more low-paying jobs with no health benefits. They earn too much to qualify for programs like TennCare, but not enough to pay for insurance and still afford other basic items such as food, clothing, and housing.

Provides care coordination services throughout the enrollment process
