Join Trevecca Nazarene University, ACHE of Middle Tennessee (ACHEMT), and Interfaith America for The Heart of Healthcare, a special gathering exploring how empathy, faith, and community engagement shape the way healthcare is accessed, delivered, taught, and sustained.

Through thoughtful dialogue and shared experiences, this event will examine the critical role that compassion, purpose, and community partnerships play in creating healthier and more equitable outcomes. Drawing on the expertise of leaders from healthcare delivery, academia, and public service, attendees will gain valuable perspectives on addressing the social and cultural factors that influence health and well-being.

This event is supported through Trevecca's partnership with Interfaith America (IFA) and its Bridging the Gap and Faith & Health Grant initiatives, which promote collaboration across religious and community organizations to strengthen health outcomes. By recognizing the value of diverse perspectives and community wisdom, these efforts help address barriers created by social determinants of health and foster more inclusive approaches to care.
