In 1985, Nashville CARES began with a mission born out of urgency, compassion and grit: to care for our neighbors living with HIV, and to fight the surrounding stigma. Over the years, that mission has grown into a movement. We've evolved from crisis responders to leaders in public health, equity and innovation. CARES now provides dignity, acceptance and unwavering care for 20,000+ individuals across Middle Tennessee each year.

As the scope of our mission continued to expand, it became clear that this life-changing work would be even more effective if we could reimagine our clinic as a separate (but closely related) entity. That dream is now a beautiful reality. By establishing CARES 360 as a full-service health equity provider, the CARES family is already setting a new standard for inclusive, community-based healthcare.

But this new chapter isn’t just about us. It’s about everyone who believes that empathy-based healthcare is a right, not a privilege. It’s about building a Tennessee where no one slips through the cracks. A community where all healthcare is holistic. Where dignity leads the way.

It’s about you
