Who staffs SMLC?

​

The Clinic is run by a small staff and many volunteer physicians, nurses, and community members who have chosen to donate their time and skills to this great ministry. We have over 90 active volunteers.

Get to Know SMLC

The St. Mary's Legacy Clinic is a medical clinic that travels to partner sites in underserved areas of East Tennessee to offer people without medical insurance holistic, primary care services. Being that the clinic is a “family doctor’s office on wheels," SMLC provides care for both urgent health needs (i.e. acute illnesses, minor injuries, etc.) and chronic conditions (i.e. high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.). SMLC offers telehealth visits between in-person appointments, and we connect patients to more services through our partners. Most importantly, SMLC treats each person with dignity and respect and aims to provide a compassionate environment for everyone we encounter. As a Catholic ministry, SMLC follows the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services, which promote the dignity of each person. SMLC schedules appointments for patients, and we accommodate walk-in visits when possible. There is no cost for SMLC services, as we are funded solely by grants and donations. Laboratory testing and assistance with obtaining medications are provided on site. Patient education and disease prevention are a strong focus.
