A promising partnership for Northeast Tennessee
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The STRONG Accountable Care Community (STRONG ACC) is coordinating the Bright Start TN partnership in Northeast TN. Established in 2018, the STRONG ACC is a collective impact coalition working together to create a brighter future for children, families and communities in the Appalachian Highlands. Its work to align regional partners around improving health, education and economic outcomes will serve as a foundation for Bright Start TN efforts in Northeast TN.

“We understand there’s a lot that falls to the school systems to prevent children from falling behind in the classroom, but there’s an equally important role we can all play. Our school systems and families need the support of our community, and I’m excited that through Bright Start we’ll join a network of partners, regionally and across the state, who are doubling down to support children’s health, learning and development during those crucial birth through third grade years that are the foundation for future success.”
