The University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) recently launched the Tennessee Population Health Consortium, a statewide initiative dedicated to improving health outcomes and equity across Tennessee.

The consortium will focus on using health coaching approaches to change the nature of primary care, encouraging quality improvement and population health research. In addition, the consortium will partner with the Tennessee Heart Health Network, the Cancer Prevention and Control Program, and the Diabetes Wellness and Prevention coalition to expand the initiative’s reach.
