The Health Council is a collective of individuals and organizations who care about the health and well-being of Robertson County citizens. The Health Council welcomes anyone to join us! If you are someone who is interested in improving the lives of individuals living in Robertson County please join us for our monthly Health Council meetings. During these meetings individuals have the opportunity to hear about the wonderful work going on in Robertson County and to learn more about the invaluable resources that are available.

Anyone can be a member of the Robertson County Health Council. Individuals interested in becoming a member of the Robertson County Health Council must first attend two Health Council meetings and commit to being involved with the work of the Health Council for at least one year.  If you are interested in joining the Robertson County Health Council, please reach out via email to either the Health Council Chair (Lauren Paterson at lpatte20@utk.edu) or the Community Health Council Coordinator (Brandon Chase at brandon.chase@tn.gov).
