ATHOMES Joins ACMESA: Strengthening Advocacy for Tennessee Homecare Providers

ATHOMES is excited to announce a strategic alignment with ACMESA, a well-established and successful state association representing homecare providers in North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. This partnership enhances advocacy efforts, expands industry representation, and strengthens support for homecare providers in Tennessee.

Why ACMESA?

As ATHOMES explored the best path forward, we evaluated potential collaborations with other state associations. ACMESA emerged as the ideal choice due to its strong foundation and proven success in integrating providers across multiple states. By joining ACMESA, Tennessee providers gain access to a broader, more influential network, ensuring their voices are heard in key policy discussions.

What This Means for Tennessee Providers

• Stronger Advocacy: A unified voice that amplifies Tennessee providers' concerns at the state and national levels.
• Expanded Representation: Greater influence in discussions with key stakeholders, including AAHomecare, policymakers, and healthcare organizations.
• Continued Local Focus: While part of ACMESA, ATHOMES will maintain its name and focus on Tennessee-specific advocacy efforts.

One of ACMESA’s greatest strengths is the active participation of providers on local issues. Engaging with legislators, advocating for Medicaid reforms, and addressing regulatory challenges remain top priorities, and Tennessee providers will play a key role in these efforts. ACMESA’s expertise and strong leadership will further support Tennessee’s homecare community in driving positive industry change.
