Free Healthcare, Food, and Fun: Nashville’s Community Comes Together for Gear Up Tennessee

Joint effort between Health Clinic and NFL to offer vaccines and dental care services

A Nashville health clinic is collaborating with NFL Alumni Tennessee, St. Luke CME Church, and the Tennessee CEAL Program of Meharry Medical College to offer free dental services, diapers, and vaccines on Saturday, April 20. The event will take place from 12 to 4 p.m. at St. Luke CME Church in the Buena Vista area of Nashville. In addition to health services, there will be music, free food, and exercise classes available for participants. Former Tennessee Titans players will be on hand to sign autographs and take photos with fans.

The goal of the event is to promote healthy lifestyles and improve access to healthcare for the Nashville community. This initiative is part of the NFL Alumni’s “Gear Up Tennessee” program, which encourages vaccinations and healthy choices like exercise, led by former NFL players. A variety of vaccines will be available for event attendees, including those for shingles, flu, RSV, Hepatitis B, HPV, pneumococcal, Tdap, and COVID-19, provided by Kroger.
