Early detection and management of glaucoma are crucial, as it often progresses without noticeable symptoms until later stages.

To schedule a comprehensive eye exam, call Ophthalmology: (423) 439-7201.

Another amazing event in the books – pun intended. 📚 Here’s some of the wonderful moments we captured at our recent Read with a Doc event at BPL Children's Library.

The event, which was open to the community, centered on helping children learn through fun, interactive play, included a teddy bear clinic, where kids got to play doctor, helping them feel more confident about doctor visits through hands-on learning and fun. Learning healthy habits at an early age helps set the foundation for a lifetime of wellness.

Thank you to everyone who made this event a success!
