East Tennessee Children’s Hospital
For more than eighty-five years, East Tennessee Children’s Hospital has served the children of this region. In addition to operating the busiest Emergency Department in Knox County, the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit takes care of about 700 premature and critically ill newborns each year. The hospital is also East Tennessee’s 25th largest employer with nearly 2,000 full and part-time staff supporting hospital operations. Annual events like the Fantasy of Trees and VOLthon, raise millions of dollars to support the nearly 124,000 children and families who are treated there every year.
