Covenant expands with Northshore clinic
Covenant Health Urgent Care–Northshore held a ribbon cutting Monday, Dec. 15. The clinic, at 902 Osprey Pointe Lane off Northshore Drive, provides X-rays, labs, bloodwork and flu and COVID-19 testing. It accepts most major insurance plans and began seeing patients Dec. 16.
Executives described urgent care as a key point of entry into Covenant’s healthcare system.
“For many patients, urgent care is their first step into Covenant Health,” said Jon-David Deeson, executive vice president of Physician Enterprise and Ambulatory Services.
Urgent Care Group CEO Matt Kossman said the partnership aims to deliver “high-quality, convenient and affordable care” while connecting patients to physicians and specialty services when needed.
Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce president/CEO Julie Blaylock said urgent care reduces pressure on emergency departments and keeps employees working by providing timely treatment for non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries.
The clinic opened two months after Covenant launched an urgent care in Farragut. Covenant now operates clinics in Farragut, Maryville North, Maryville South, North Knoxville, Sevierville and South Knoxville, with new sites planned for Cumberland Avenue and Hardin Valley.
