Did you know that the Health Department offers free on-site Spanish interpreters?

It's true, and they do remarkable work! That’s why May 6th is a special day to celebrate our outstanding interpreters at the Hamilton County Health Department.

Your hard work, skill, and kindness ensure that every patient has a voice heard and understood, regardless of language. We appreciate the vital role you play in breaking down language barriers and helping everyone receive the healthcare they deserve!

Today is National Walk & Roll your Kids to School Day. This morning, the Hamilton County Health Department joined the Woodmore Elementary students on their safe walk to school. Walk-to-school events encourage physical activity, promoting safer routes for walking and biking, and building strong connections within our community. In addition, these events raise awareness of pedestrian safety. A special thanks to Woodmore Elementary faculty, Chattanooga Fire Department, Chattanooga Police Department, Children’s Hospital at Erlanger, and New Monumental Baptist Church for their role in making this a successful event.

We’re thrilled to announce that John Roger, NP, is the recipient of this year’s DAISY Award for extraordinary nurses!
John Rogers has been with the Hamilton County Health Department since January 2022. He shows outstanding compassion and skill in serving patients facing homelessness and substance use issues. By providing patient-centered, trauma-informed care, he ensures that patients feel seen and supported. His ability to build trust has significantly improved patient engagement and health outcomes.
During his time at the Homeless Healthcare clinic, John was observed responding with urgency and precision during a critical incident, delivering life-saving care. His ability to remain composed under pressure and act decisively was essential in saving the patient’s life - a mission he strives to fulfill every day. John shows up daily with a smile and the same goal he had on his first day at Homeless Healthcare: to preserve life. Keeping our motto in mind, he aims to meet people where they are by providing top-quality care, regardless of their circumstances.
John exemplifies the values of nursing excellence through advocacy and collaboration, and with an unwavering commitment to equitable care, making him highly deserving of the DAISY Award.
