Neighborhood Health in Nashville is one of roughly 1,400 federal health centers that get funding to help patients without insurance.
This may be a healthcare town but, even here, figuring our way around the system – affordably – is a real challenge. And it’s becoming a greater challenge for many people who’ve dropped coverage because the Affordable Care Act Marketplace has become anything but affordable. In this episode, we tour our federally-qualified health centers (FQHCs) and community clinics, get some help for anyone without insurance who finds out they’re pregnant, and learn the value of HealthQ.
Guests:
- Cara Anthony, HealthQ co-host and reporter, KFF Health News
- Katina Beard, CEO, Matthew Walker Comprehensive Health Center
- Sade L Davis, board chair, Neighborhood Health
- Katie Richards, CEO, Siloam Health
- Dr. Rohini Chakravarthy, medical director, Vanderbilt’s Shade Tree Clinic
