About Us

The Comprehensive Care Center (CCC) is a private, not-for-profit outpatient medical facility dedicated to advancing and coordinating care, research and treatment of people living with HIV infection. The CCC opened in February 1994 as the result of a community-wide effort to address the challenges of the growing HIV epidemic in Middle Tennessee. The initial efforts began in 1992 when Phil Bredesen, then Mayor of Nashville, convened a Task Force on The Financial Impact of HIV on Healthcare Institutions in Middle Tennessee. Representatives from the major Hospitals and Medical Schools met with civic and business leaders. The result of those meetings was the commitment to develop a state-of-the-art outpatient facility to care for people with HIV infection. Several organizations devoted time, energy and funding to make the opening of the CCC a reality. A partial list of donors would include: Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Baptist Hospital, Centennial Medical Center, St. Thomas Hospital, The Woodfin Miller Foundation, The Frist Foundation and Ingram Industries.

The CCC has developed cooperative relationships with other providers to deliver on-site services to accomplish our goal of "comprehensive care." These collaborations include:

Nashville CARES, Mental Health Cooperative, LabCorp, The AIDS Clinical Trials Center, The Tennessee Department of Health's AIDS Support Services Division, The Centers of Excellence.
