Siloam Health

Medical care: comprehensive, whole-person medical care is the cornerstone of Siloam Health. Our primary care clinic in melrose and walk-in clinic in antioch provide care for the uninsured throughout middle Tennessee. Our medical staff work alongside 400+ volunteers annually to promote the physical, spiritual, and emotional Health of patients from over 80 countries, speaking nearly 50 languages. In 2022, Siloam served over 6,500 patients and conducted nearly 26,500 patient encounters. Siloam also sees newly-arrived refugees for comprehensive medical screenings required for entry into the united states. In 2022, Siloam welcomed over 700 refugees through this program.

Student education: Siloam Health is also committed to raising up a new generation of Health professionals for the underserved and multiplying a more whole- person approach within the profession itself. Siloam preceptorships and university partnerships provide dozens of senior-level Health professions students annually with practicum-based training in poverty medicine, cross-cultural Health care, and behavioral Health. Students at Siloam also receive practical training in how to work with an interpreter, take a patient's spiritual history, and work with an interdisciplinary team.

Community Health: Siloam addresses the social determinants of Health that underlie medical challenges through its community Health programs. Our community Health worker program equips and deploys trusted individuals from local arabic and spanish-speaking communities to address patients' daily life struggles and needs such as social isolation, medical mistrust, chronic disease management, and Health care navigation. Siloam also provides Health education to newly arrived refugee families through our nashville neighbors program, which pairs volunteer groups with newly arrived refugee families to complete a 6-month Health education curriculum, ensure a healthy transition, and to build friendships across cultures.
