CHILDREN'S HEALTH

When children have access to the healthcare they need, they're better able to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. Without it, untreated health needs can have ripple effects on their development, education, and long-term health. TJC works to ensure Tennessee children have access to coverage and care that supports their health at every stage of childhood.

IMPROVING CARE FOR TENNESSEE'S CHILDREN

TJC’s class action advocacy compelled the state to meet federal pediatric care standards for the more than half million children who rely on TennCare to meet their medical and mental health needs. That work, like all of TJC’s work for systemic reforms, is grounded in, and guided by, our relationships with the inspiring families we serve.
