CARES 360 Community Clinic:
A natural evolution.
In 1985, Nashville CARES began with a mission born out of urgency, compassion and grit: to care for our neighbors living with HIV, and to fight the surrounding stigma. Over the years, that mission has grown into a movement. We've evolved from crisis responders to leaders in public health, equity and innovation. CARES now provides dignity, acceptance and unwavering care for 20,000+ individuals across Middle Tennessee each year.
As the scope of our mission continued to expand, it became clear that this life-changing work would be even more effective if we could reimagine our clinic as a separate (but closely related) entity. That dream is now a beautiful reality. By establishing CARES 360 as a full-service health equity provider, the CARES family is already setting a new standard for inclusive, community-based healthcare.
But this new chapter isn’t just about us. It’s about everyone who believes that empathy-based healthcare is a right, not a privilege. It’s about building a Tennessee where no one slips through the cracks. A community where all healthcare is holistic. Where dignity leads the way.
It’s about you.
The power of community begins with each of us.
In support of our mission and vision, our actions are guided, supported and measured by our values. For more details (including financials), see our listing at www.givingmatters.com.

With over a decade of healthcare experience, Rachel approaches patient care with knowledge, empathy and compassion. A board-certified Physician Assistant with Master’s Degrees in both Social Work and Public Health, she’s deeply committed to the biopsychosocial model of healthcare. This approach recognizes that physical health is closely intertwined with mental, emotional and social wellbeing.
Rachel is also credentialed as an HIV Specialist by the American Academy of HIV Medicine. She understands how overwhelmingly complex it can be to navigate the healthcare system. Her clinical practice is grounded in the belief that quality care involves active listening, shared decision making and a holistic view of unique individual circumstances. Working in community medicine has been a lifelong dream, so Rachel views it as a privilege to serve our diverse patient population.

Zach Campbell, RN, AGPCNP-C
Nurse Practitioner
Read More & Schedule AppointmentZach Campbell, RN, AGPCNP-C Nurse Practitioner
Zach has long been driven by the desire to bring high-quality healthcare to underserved communities. This focus guided him to earn his Master’s Degree in Nursing with a focus on Adult Geriatric Primary Care from Vanderbilt University. There, he found that while he was passionate about serving that population, he also felt a strong pull to work with disenfranchised members of the community. That led to volunteering at vaccine drives in unhoused citizen encampments.
After graduating in 2022, Zach joined a Chattanooga community health clinic, working with patients seeking care for PrEP, PEP, HIV, HCV and primary care concerns. Now that he’s on the CARES team, he continues to expand on his specialized skills and experience, embracing new care and treatment advances as they become available. Is it possible to change the world? For Zach, helping to save lives is a great way to start.
