Expanding Access to Healthcare: $3.6 Million Grant for Mobile Health Unit
August 7, 2025 - 17:15
The University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Nursing has secured a significant $3.6 million grant aimed at enhancing healthcare accessibility in rural areas. This three-year funding initiative will facilitate the deployment of a second mobile health unit, staffed by nurse practitioners, to serve the communities of Hardeman, Haywood, and Dyer counties.
The mobile health unit is designed to address the healthcare disparities faced by residents in these underserved regions, providing essential medical services directly to those in need. The initiative is part of a broader commitment to improving health outcomes in rural populations, where access to quality healthcare can often be limited.
With the addition of this mobile unit, the College of Nursing aims to reach more individuals, offering a range of services that may include preventive care, health education, and chronic disease management. This proactive approach is expected to significantly impact the health and well-being of the communities served.
