May's flood has left many Tennesseans without the items they need for their health and survival, including life-saving medications. The Dispensary of Hope, an organization that provides medications to patients in need, is anticipating an increase in demand for medications throughout Tennessee over the next 60 days. TNAFP encourages you to help by:
- Donating any unexpired sample medications you are able to spare,
- Forwarding this information to colleagues and other health care providers who may be able to help.
Don’t wait – Contact the Dispensary of Hope to donate medicines today!

TNAFP Partners with District Attorneys to Educate Tennesseans on Challenges of Teen Parenthood
The Tennessee Academy of Family Physicians has partnered
with Tennessee’s District Attorneys in support of the What’s
the Rush? teen pregnancy education and awareness campaign.
What’s the Rush? is a statewide campaign launched by the DAs
last month to educate teenagers on the legal, financial and social consequences of being a teen parent. The campaign features
teen-focused printed materials, Facebook and MySpace pages,
a YouTube channel, a Web site, and a network of partners
spanning the state.
