Finding a reliable primary care provider who accepted her insurance was a real challenge for Tigist Tilahun, a Siloam Health clinic support volunteer and Nashville native. The frustration and uncertainty of that experience gave her a sense of how much more difficult it must be for those without any insurance at all. She shares, “I'm convinced that Siloam's services are exactly what Nashville needs, and I hope that more people will discover and appreciate what Siloam brings to the community.”
