Innovation in the Face of the COVID Crisis

Nicknamed the nation’s healthcare capital, Nashville has long been an industry leader, nurturing innovation and influencing the healthcare landscape nationally and internationally. During this time of crisis, Nashville is again taking a lead in healthcare innovation. Here are a few examples of the critical work originating here:

Nashville Health Care Council Convenes COVID-19 Readiness Team

Vanderbilt Researchers Developing Potential Coronavirus Antibody Therapies 

Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Announces Treatment Support Initiative

SilverSneakers Adds Digital Resources

Smile Direct to Produce Face Shields For Medical Personnel  

Fund Needs Corporate, Community Support to Help Nashvillians in Need

Nashville’s COVID-19 Response Fund has benefited from donations big and small. Organizations like the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corporation, the Frist Foundation, Music City Center and the Tennessee Titans have made very generous donations, as well as individuals from across the city. All of which will make a critical difference in our community.

If you can help, please contribute to the COVID-19 Response Fund. One-hundred percent of the funds raised will go directly to nonprofits and, in turn, directly into the pockets of individuals impacted by wage loss because of COVID-19.

Tracking COVID in Tennessee

Each day, the Tennessee Department of Health (TDH) releases figures tracking the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in each county and statewide. In an effort to raise awareness about these figures and understand how infection rates are changing, NashvilleHealth shares tracking updates and insights based on TDH data.

Data acquired from the TDH Website, as of March 30 analyzed by Sajid Khan, Change Healthcare and NashvilleHealth Board.

*Total TN & Other County Cases Include Out Of State Cases Diagnosed in TN
