Project Access
The Medical Foundation of Nashville’s Project Access Nashville Specialty Care supports health access by providing a coordinated system of specialty care for low-income, uninsured residents of Middle Tennessee.
Project Access Nashville Specialty Care (PANSC) accepts referrals from free and charitable primary care clinics, participating volunteer specialty partners, and the emergency departments of participating hospitals.
