Healthy kids. Strong families. Stronger partnerships.

Leaders and partners from across Tennessee came together for, "Healthy Kids, Strong Families: Getting to the Root of Preventable Chronic Conditions," a Tennessee Children’s Health Summit focused on improving lifelong health outcomes for children and families.

The summit brought together expertise from public health, healthcare, behavioral health, research and child advocacy. Participants explored how prevention, early detection and coordinated care can make a lasting difference.

Thank you to all who participated in this meaningful event!
