meets helping
Our love for community shows in the level of care we provide, professionals we employ, capital improvements made to ensure future healthcare needs are met, economic impact generated and contributions added to the tax base to fund vital services. Plus, we’ve been able to donate millions of dollars in healthcare to neighbors in need, regardless of their ability to pay. It’s our pleasure to be the exclusive healthcare partner for Western Carolina University, and to partner with Smoky Mountain High School to provide free sports physicals and sponsor students interested in health sciences careers. Other causes we support include the Cherokee Indian Hospital Foundation, Area Agency on Aging and Southwestern Community College.
