Veterans are one of our most vulnerable populations considering many veteran-specific health care facilities are quite a distance out of the county. The Knox County Community Health Center family of locations are here to help bridge that gab and make health care services more conveniently located and extremely affordable thanks to our foundation of federal funding.
Here at the Health Center, we have a special patriotic pride - we have four staff members that are veterans or currently serving our nation in the armed forces.
