Medical Mission at Home

IMPACT

Brief Overview of Situation

First begun in 2007, Medical Mission at Home has come to symbolize our charitable mission at work as established by our founders, the Daughters of Charity. Ascension Saint Thomas spearheads a day of medical care, staffed entirely by volunteers, for some of the most vulnerable members of our Middle Tennessee community. We deliver quality healthcare to the uninsured and underinsured, offering services such as health, vision, and hearing screenings, behavioral health, dental care, prescriptions, and spiritual care.

Dive Deeper into the Problem that Ascension Helped Solve

Medical Mission at Home occurs throughout Middle Tennessee wherever need is recognized. Traditionally, several are conducted each year serving hundreds in the local community. The Ascension Saint Thomas Foundation is proud to partner with our health system in funding some of the vital costs associated with delivering care to this underserved part of our community. Donor gifts help purchase vision equipment, medical supplies, cover vendor and rental costs, as well as food for volunteers.

“Medical Mission at Home events are a unique opportunity for us to work alongside other Middle Tennessee organizations that share our driving motivation – to show compassionate care to those in need,” said Nancy Anness, Chief Advocacy Officer, Ascension Saint Thomas

Today/Where Are They Now
