Siloam helps Nashville refugees from over 100 countries

"Culturally sensitive, thoughtful continuous care on the front end can save a lot of money for the city of Nashville in the longterm."

WKRN reports here on Nashville's Siloam Family Health Center, which provides healthcare to refugees who have come to Nashville from over 100 countries:

Of the nation’s 100 largest metropolitan areas, Nashville, Tennessee ranks number one in the number of new immigrants.
...
The staff at the south Nashville clinic work hard to make sure Nashville’s newest residents feel welcome, but don't become a healthcare burden.
...
It is not an easy task, especially when you consider people from over 100 different countries come through their doors.
...
Dr. Wills said, "By keeping people as much as we can out of emergency rooms, out of operating rooms when that can be avoided. So, culturally sensitive, thoughtful continuous care on the front end can save a lot of money for the city of Nashville in the longterm."
...
Siloam is seen as a model for other cities in dealing with the healthcare of immigrant and refugee populations.
