CARES 360 is Nashville's whole-person clinic: HIV care and prevention (PrEP, PEP), STI testing and treatment, Hep C care, therapy, psychiatry and everyday primary care. 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. 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. 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.
