Through a partnership with HCA Healthcare Foundation, we’re working together to reduce maternal health disparities, ensuring more mothers and babies receive the care they need to thrive. This collaboration also enabled us to launch a maternal health resource navigation line through 211, connecting families—especially in rural areas—to essential services.

As of January 1, 2025, United Way of Greater Nashville (UWGN) joins United Way of Greater Chattanooga’s (UWGC) 211 Service Region, bringing the call center closer to home with a localized approach that prioritizes user friendly access and personalized support. The 211 website has resources accessible 24/7. 211 Navigators are available Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST, to provide tailored guidance for those in need.
