Tell Us Your Story

The Tennessee Health Care Campaign has used the power of storytelling with positive results for years. The issue of consumer health care is complex and often chalked full of dry facts and figures. Yet there is nothing more human than one’s state of existence, which includes one’s state of health. THCC has been reminding the public, policy makers, and media of this and, in turn, positively improving people’s lives through stories that put faces with facts and names with numbers.

In order for us to improve our broken health care system, it is important for the public to have a deeper and more personal understanding of the medical, emotional, and financial tragedies individuals and families face as a result of being without health care. With 1 in 3 Tenneseans struggling with accessing and affording health care at any time during the year, we know there are many stories to tell. If one of these stories is yours, we want to hear from you.

Hearing real voices will result in real improvements, but these voices will not be heard unless the Tennessee Health Care Campaign is able to find them. By speaking out, the uninsured, under-insured, and the medically fragile can help those who aren't in these situations better undertand the medical, emotional, and financial burdens too many are facing.

For those who are healthy and insured yet believe health care is a human necessity, you have a story to tell, too. If you are committed to health care justice and reform, tell us why.

THCC uses stories to change hearts and minds by delivering them the media, public, and policy makers. However, we never use your story without your permission. By submitting your story today, it goes only to a staff person of THCC--it will not appear on our website or elsewhere until we talk with you.
