Description
The Dr. J.G. Hawkins Memorial Fund, administered by East Tennessee Foundation, supports access to medical care and treatment for rural residents of Greene County, Tennessee. Established in 2011, the fund focuses on residents who are underserved, uninsured, or underinsured, with particular attention to children.
Funding supports two approaches: providing medically related transportation for rural Greene County residents, or bringing traveling clinical and medical services into underserved rural areas on a temporary or intermittent basis. Both approaches are intended to connect residents with medical care. Organizations do not need to be based in Greene County, but the funded project must benefit only county residents.
