Mission Statement

Founded in 1947, the Tennessee Health Care Association is dedicated to helping maintain the high standards of licensed long-term care facilities in the Volunteer State. THCA members include almost 300 facilities with a combined total of approximately 28,000 patients. Members include nursing homes of all types - privately-owned, government-operated and nonprofit - as well as some assisted care living facilities.

Its goals are:

	To maintain the high standards of licensed long-term care facilities in Tennessee;
	To boost public understanding of long-term care;
	To provide members with educational opportunities that enhance their ability to provide quality care; and
	To seek positive solutions to issues facing long-term care as a liaison with the state and federal governments.

THCA is headquartered in Nashville, convenient to the state's Capitol. THCA is governed by a House of Delegates that meets annually, as well as a Board of Directors that represents a cross-section of the membership. Seeing to the day-to-day operations of the association are an executive director and staff.
