Leader’s Biography 1998:
Executive Director, Tennessee Health Care Campaign, Nashville, TN
During the tumultous, rapid transition to managed care in Tennessee, Garr protected the most vulnerable consumers by taking on the insurers, state government and major healthcare providers to get the care they needed. From solving the eligibility problems of an individual client to tackling systemic issues such as barriers to prenatal care, Garr is a highly effective advocate of the marginalized.
