No Cost Care / Health Outreach Services
Compassionate care, no matter the cost
Meharrians believe in turning compassion into action. That’s why every year, we deliver $26 million in uncompensated care – providing critical health services to the Nashvillians who need it.* From our brick-and-mortar medical clinics to our innovative mobile dentistry units, at Meharry, we stand committed to one thing: delivering compassionate care, no matter the cost.
