Rep. Patsy Hazelwood receives a check from Cindy Wheeler, left, of St. Barnabas at Siskin Hospital and Diana Miller of Siskin Hospital’s Subacute Rehabilitation Program at the Tennessee Health Care Association’s annual charity giveaway.
Sixty legislators won a total of almost $10,000 in donations for charities in their communities during the Tennessee Health Care Association’s annual “Partnering for Charity” event March 18 at The Hermitage Hotel, including Rep. Patsy Hazelwood, who won $100 for United Way Chattanooga.
Each year, the charity giveaway is a highlight of THCA’s Legislative Conference, an event that brings long-term care professionals together with state lawmakers to discuss what it takes to provide quality services for the state’s elderly and disabled.
“Every year, our members look forward to this event,” THCA Executive Director Jesse Samples said.
“It is a great opportunity to join forces with legislators to give back to the areas they serve.”
THCA is a nonprofit association representing long-term care facilities throughout the state. For more information about long-term care in Tennessee, contact THCA at 615-834-6520 or visit
