Recent AARP research shows that an estimated 476,000 additional Tennessee residents would be eligible for health coverage—including 72,000 uninsured people ages 50 to 64—if the state opted to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.

Natural disasters can strike without warning, leaving communities devastated and individuals scrambling to cope with the aftermath. While we can't control Mother Nature, we can take proactive steps to prepare ourselves and our loved ones for these unexpected events.

In addition to hosting a telephone town hall, the organizations are sharing vital supplies in a storm’s aftermath and resources to get ready for the next one.
