Tucked in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, both Athens and Etowah blend the tranquility of small-town life with convenient access to larger-city amenities in nearby Knoxville and Chattanooga, both less than an hour away. An idyllic place to build a life and raise a family, the region’s schools are well-rated, and festivals and events are family friendly. Here, you can explore Athens’ quaint downtown with a courthouse square, local shops and eateries, along with historic sites, museums, wineries and distilleries. Outdoors enthusiasts love being close to the surrounding mountains and waterways for hiking, fishing and whitewater rafting, all experienced in four mild seasons.

Where healing
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. Because we live here, it’s our pleasure to support and participate in organizations and activities including American Cancer Society, local arts, community festivals and area hunger relief initiatives.
