HAT Receives Fourth Year of Grant Funding

HAT is pleased to announce that we have received a fourth year of grant funding from the HCA Foundation for 2011. This money will continue to fund our program, "Healthcare Navigation for the Uninsured," which allows our counselors to provide case management and advocacy services to the thousands of Middle Tennesseans who are uninsured. Through this program we are also able to offer healthcare navigation training to providers, social workers and case managers. The program’s primary goal is to ensure that uninsured Middle Tennessee adults and children are connected with a medical home, appropriate healthcare resources, and, when possible, an affordable health insurance plan.
We are grateful to HCA Foundation for the trust they have put in our nonprofit.

Health Assist Tennessee helps connect Tennesseans with available programs, both public and private, that can meet their health care needs. We seek to ensure that Tennesseans, especially those who are most vulnerable, get the health care they need.

As A Voice

We give our clients a voice to help them express their health care needs. We are able to do this by:

Providing medical interpretation for individuals with limited English proficiency
Explaining medical jargon and technical language often used in medical care
Giving application assistance to individuals with limited literacy

As a Resource
Our staff understands Tennessee's public health care programs, and we use our knowledge to put Tennesseans on the right path to health. We stay current on:

Rules and regulations regarding public assistance
Forms required to obtain services
Phone numbers to call
Questions to ask
Services available at local clinics

As a Solution
We know how to navigate the state’s health care system, and we will follow every lead to help our clients. Some of the ways we can help are:

Coordinating the services of several agencies to get the medication a child needs
Interpreting a refugee’s description of his symptoms
Helping an elderly couple compare health plans
Guiding young mothers in getting the necessary medical care for their children
Staying involved in a client’s case and following through to ensure that a client’s needs are met
Expediting services when needed
