The holidays are a fun time of the year for many people, filled with friends, family, food, festivities and in many cases—alcohol. For those who are actively sober or in recovery, this can be a difficult time.
The holidays are in full swing and no matter what holidays you are celebrating this month, there is an abundance of food, a change in routine, gatherings and parties. What can you do to keep you and your family healthy while still having fun?
National Family Health History Day is November 24, 2022. Why do we bring your attention to this day?
This time of year can be especially tough on families with little ones - holidays bringing lots of new faces together, colds and flu running through classrooms. With immature immune systems, fall and winter can bring many new illnesses for a small child to battle. One illness in particularly on parents' radar is RSV.
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.
Our Mission
Promote a healthy community through education, innovation, and equitable care.
Our Vision
Inspire and empower healthy lifestyles for generations to come.
