Lifespan Health

What Lifespan Health does

Lifespan Health, legally known as Hardin County Regional Health Center, is a non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) operating as a community health center in rural Hardin County, Tennessee. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Savannah, TN, the organization serves individual patients and families through six clinic locations spanning Savannah (three sites), Clifton, Adamsville, and Selmer. The patient base spans general community members, women and families, children and adolescents, diabetic patients, behavioral health patients, veterans, and men's health patients across Hardin County and surrounding areas.

The organization delivers a comprehensive portfolio of core medical services including family practice, OB/GYN, pediatrics, behavioral health, diabetes care, men's and women's health, immunizations, laboratory services, prenatal care, and pregnancy testing. Additional offerings include dental, podiatry, vision, and pharmacy services. The underlying technology stack consists of standard Electronic Health Records with secure after-hours provider access, a Patient Portal (Intelichart-based), and mobile applications on Apple App Store and Google Play. Free translation and interpreter services support Arabic, Chinese, French, German, and Spanish-speaking patients.

Lifespan's business model combines multiple revenue streams: direct patient service fees covered by insurance, Medicaid/Medicare, or self-pay on a sliding scale; HRSA federal funding as a deemed FQHC with Federal PHS status; participation in the 340B drug pricing program; and income-based discounts ranging from 20% to nearly 100% of fees. The organization operates under an NCQA Level 3 Patient Centered Medical Home designation — the only one in Hardin County — and has received HRSA Health Center Quality Leader Silver recognition (2020, 2022), a 4-Star Provider Quality rating (2021), and COVID-19 Public Health Champion designation (2023). Go-to-market is direct-to-patient through physical clinic locations, walk-in availability, and after-hours phone support, with community outreach via social media, the Rise Up Recovery Outreach Podcast, and the Red Sand Project.
