We are always looking for resources for families who are insured, under insured, or without insurance. I met yesterday with Dr. Michele Pickett of Life Spring Community Health and learned about their pediatrician services. TennCare, Blue Cross, United, and Cigna are the insurances accepted at the moment. Private pay sliding scale is available for those who qualify. Care available in both English and Spanish.
“LifeSpring is a community health ministry whose purpose is to demonstrate the love of Christ in word and deed by providing health education and promotion, medical services and community advocacy in urban Chattanooga, in order to transform the health of our community – body and soul.”
“We provide the following:

- Referrals to specialists and counseling as necessary
Every attempt is made to schedule urgent visits on the same day.”
