TENNderCare is a full program of check-ups and health care services for TENN Care eligible children ages birth to twenty-one.  Hamilton County's Early Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) Outreach Program is staffed by a supervisor, health educators, and part-time outreach workers. To ensure all TENN Care eligible children maximize their benefits, outreach workers conduct home visits, phone calls and other forms of communication to inform families of delinquent status.

                                                 Check Up and 
                                                                    Check Back"
