Our mission is to glorify Christ by providing quality, charitable health care to the uninsured in our area!. In 1997, the mission committee of First Presbyterian Church, Bristol, TN read an article in Parade Magazine about the health care crisis in the United States. It stated that one million more Americans go without health insurance each year, and one way communities could help was to start a charitable clinic.
The initial planning meeting for the health center was attended by one hundred people. The Healing Hands Health Center opened just eighteen months later. Healing Hands Health Center provides services for our uninsured neighbors: medical care and much needed medications; dental care including exams, x-rays, cleanings, extractions, fillings, partials, and dentures; chiropractic care; eye exams and eyeglasses; counseling services.

We are very blessed in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia! We live in a vibrant community with a very supportive hospital system and a talented community of medical professionals. But even amid this abundance, there is a big gap in our health care system for those who lack personal or employer-sponsored health insurance or access to Medicare or Medicaid.
