This collaboration brings together the expertise and resources of two leading organizations dedicated to improving healthcare outcomes and fostering stronger communities.
MAVEN Project, a renowned national nonprofit, is committed to bridging the healthcare access gap through its unique approach.

Libby Thurman, TPCA’s Chief Executive Officer, expressed her enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “We are excited to partner with MAVEN Project to further our mission of improving healthcare access for all Tennesseans. Our work together will empower community health centers to deliver enhanced care, ensuring that patients receive the right expertise, regardless of their geographic location or socioeconomic status.”
The partnership will also focus on strengthening the capacity of primary care providers by offering specialized training programs, educational resources, and mentoring opportunities. By building a collaborative learning environment, MAVEN Project will bolster specialty care for underserved patients while also improving provider morale.
David Segal, CEO of MAVEN Project, commented “We are honored to join forces with the Tennessee Primary Care Association to address healthcare disparities and bring expert care to those in need by connecting world-class physicians with local providers through telehealth.
