We are so excited to announce the Knox County Community Health Center has joined forces with Moore Family Practice and the Walk-In Clinic! Official management of both practices under Knox Public Health started on Monday, January 3, 2022.
It’s a new year and therefore, a perfect time to create some new routines! Do you need some healthy meal ideas? What about starting or improving an exercise routine? Is it time to work on your chronic health issues, including lowering your blood pressure? And do you know how to do any of these with realistic expectations?
We know making the first steps in setting up an appointment with a therapist can seem daunting. Instead, we want you to feel empowered and relieved knowing we have therapists that can suit your needs and help you through your journey to feeling more at peace.
It’s Your Mouth—Are You Taking Care of It?
Your mouth is a huge part of your everyday life. Eating, talking, drinking, speaking, smiling, frowning—what would we do without it?
Be There for Me!
Who among us doesn’t want to be there for our children, family members, and friends? At the Knox County Community Health Center, we are here for you and your family, and want you to be there for yours.
