Mission Statement
Putting Patients First works to educate patients, providers, and policymakers on policies that efficiently deliver high-quality healthcare to patients across Tennessee. Together, we can make sure that healthcare decisions are made responsibly and sustainably.
What We Care About
Keep Healthcare Affordable
Ensuring healthcare is affordable is a critical part of ensuring that all Tennesseans can access necessary medical interventions and preventative services, leading to better public health outcomes overall.
Protecting Patients
Protecting patient safety is the bedrock of ethical medical practice, ensuring that the care provided adheres to the fundamental principle of "do no harm." At PPFTN, we prioritize a commitment to safety which is an essential part of accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment outcomes
Building Patient Confidence
Safe, effective, and ethical practices ensure that patients trust their providers, will openly communicate their needs, and adhere to treatment plans, which lead to better outcomes. Making the healthcare system easier to navigate ensures more patients will seek high-quality care.
Holding Providers Accountable
Accountability in healthcare ensures that providers uphold the highest standards of quality and ethical practice in their delivery of care every day.
