Communities in Tennessee and across the country are in the midst of an unprecedented and rapidly evolving crisis, one that began as a public health crisis but has quickly become an economic one. While so much about this moment remains unknown - how long it will last, how deep its impact will be, and how we’ll recover - one thing has become clear: the health and strength of our communities depends on all of us. We are only as healthy and safe as the most vulnerable members of our community. We need each other. Read more about how we’re responding.

Some safety Net Providers are available to assess patients with symptoms regardless of insurance status. Since all clinics are not assessing for the COVID-19, please contact the clinic before visiting.
Individuals should call the assessment sites prior to going onsite. Most locations do a phone assessment to determine if an in-person assessment or test is needed.

An open letter to elected officials responding to COVID-19
This moment requires bold and robust action to protect public health and support working families and our economy. We’re calling on you to ensure that immigrants and refugees, of all statuses, are fully included in the decisions you make about public health and economic relief. No matter where we’re from or how we got here, we all need to have access to testing and treatment and to resources and information to care for our families. The only way we’ll make it through this crisis is if the measures you take protect all of us, including immigrants. We can start by implementing the following recommendations.
LA SALUD Y FORTALEZA DE NUESTRAS COMUNIDADES

Este momento exige una respuesta valiente y robusta para proteger la salud pública y para apoyar a las familias trabajadoras y a nuestra economía. Les pedimos que se aseguren que todos los inmigrantes y refugiados, de cualquier estatus, estén plenamente incluidos en las decisiones que tomen acerca de salud pública y alivio económico. Sin importar de dónde venimos o cómo llegamos acá, todos necesitamos acceso a evaluaciones y tratamientos y a recursos e información para cuidar de nuestras familias. La única manera que saldremos de esta crisis es si las medidas que tomen nos protegen a todos, incluyendo a los inmigrantes. Podemos empezar implementando las siguientes recomendaciones.
