UT Martin is the recipient of a “mobile health unit” as a part of the University of Tennessee System Grand Challenge Grant.
According to the Tennessee Department of Health, the state is ranked 44th in the nation for health care.
Through this investment in the future of Tennessee health care, the “mobile health unit” will be used as a teaching tool for the nursing department as well as hands on care to the community.
The UT Martin Department of Nursing has worked to identify the specific needs and priorities of each county for over nine months and the unit is a step in the right direction.
