MISSION - WHAT WE DO

W.O.M.E.N., Inc. of Nashville, Tennessee bridges service gaps to reduce health disparities.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Full Plate Program The Full Plate Program, a nutrition and food distribution program, addresses the critical dietary needs of men, women, and children and is a very important component of our service delivery. Operated by skilled volunteers, the goal of the program is to promote healthy eating and healthy living. To reach that goal, our food pantry provides free perishable and non-perishable food, beverages, household supplies, and personal care items to those in need regardless of race or gender. With the economic stressors facing so many families in our community the program is more important than ever. We are experiencing a tremendous need for donations of food and funds to meet the needs of our clients and our goal to serve everyone. Donations to the Full Plate Program prevent Nashville's population most in need from going without food. Open Secretee This program involves a team-centered approach to identifying and decreasing unhealthy behaviors by navigating participants through the support service system and linking them to care. The goal of Open Secretee is to provide each participant with the knowledge and resources needed to establish an integrated medical and social service network. Our experienced, trained, team has relevant knowledge of the community, relevant knowledge of behaviors, and relevant knowledge of disease susceptibility. This approach to care will offer each person individualized, holistic support throughout the entire navigation experience, from screening and diagnosis, through care/treatment and program exit with supportive services and peer mentorship. Open Secretee offers the type of education, advocacy, guidance, support, and companionship that improves quality of life and contributes to individuals successfully entering and remaining in care/treatment. W.O.R.T.H. The Women On Reason to Heal (W.O.R.T.H.) support group offers guidance, education, resources, professional speakers, medical referrals, partner health screenings, and coaching to its members. The ultimate goal of the program is to increase the quality of life of its members by reducing stress, fear, and anxiety, thereby promoting healing. W.O.R.T.H. reinforces living a healthy life and builds upon personal wellness, accountability, with a focus on family, friends, and community. It is the first such group in Nashville to address the special needs of women. Members who take part in W.O.R.T.H. believe that they live healthier, happier lives because they spend time relating to others sharing feelings and experiences. With emotional support, members find it is easier to deal with health and social challenges. Take the Test HIV TestingThis program provides free confidential HIV counseling, education, and testing to anyone seeking to know their HIV status. W.O.M.E.N. provides 3 types of Rapid testing OraSure, OraQuick and UniGold. All tests are free and delivered in a compassionate client centered atmosphere.
