The Tennessee State Department of Health (TDH) has demonstrated exceptional leadership in advancing initiatives that prioritize healthy aging across the state. Strong, visionary leadership within the department has been instrumental in developing robust partnerships with key organizations in the aging sector. These collaborations have fostered a unified approach to addressing the needs of older adults in Tennessee. The TDH is a recognized Age-Friendly Public Health System and is leading healthy aging efforts across the state.
TDH is working to get all of the local departments of health in the state recognized as Age-Friendly Public Health Systems.
