Measuring at 6'6" and just under 200 pounds at 19 years old, Landon Easter was once a tiny baby in our NICU born at 32 weeks. Landon is actively working toward a degree in physical therapy, with the hope of transferring from a local community college to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in the spring. "I still have the entire baby book the nursing staff made for him. It was so sweet!" said his mother, "I just can't even share how thankful we are for the NICU staff."

Embracing his Southern roots and love for pediatric surgery, you will find Dr. Glaze Vaughan in scrubs and western boots in an operating room at our hospital. Dr. Vaughan’s pediatric surgical career has taken him across the country from Georgia to Texas to Indianapolis but ultimately landed him here, in the heart of East Tennessee.

After thirteen years, Dr. Vaughan has completed thousands of successful surgeries and is now known as the ‘boot doctor’ by patients and families. “Children have great attitudes and it’s infectious getting to work in this environment. Being able to restore a child to good health and correct a disorder is a true privilege.”

A lifetime of helping others, Dr. Vaughan never loses sight of his life philosophy as he serves his community. “Be humble, live simply, love earnestly, care deeply, speak kindly and never cease in attempting to do good. Above all, may my thoughts, words and actions be pleasing to God. I want to spread this message and joy to others whom I have the privilege of taking care of and work with.”

We Get Kids

East Tennessee Children's Hospital is a 152-bed hospital certified by the state of Tennessee as one of four Comprehensive Regional Pediatric Center in Tennessee and is accredited by the Joint Commission. As a Comprehensive Regional Pediatric Center, Children's Hospital offers full capabilities to care for seriously ill children in a unique pediatric environment and offers the services of many different pediatric sub-specialties. Children's Hospital works jointly with the University of Tennessee Medical Center to ensure that injured children in this region receive trauma care at the institution most appropriate for the child's needs. We also assist smaller hospitals by providing pediatric health care training opportunities.

Since our first day in 1937, we have had an "open-door" policy that no child will be denied care because of race, religion or their parents' ability to pay their child's medical bill.

Because children are special... they deserve the best possible health care given in a positive, family-centered atmosphere of friendliness, cooperation, and support - regardless of race, religion, or ability to pay. Their medical needs are closely related to their emotional and informational needs; therefore, the total child must be considered in treating any illness or injury. Their health care requires family involvement, special understanding, special equipment, and specially trained personnel who recognize that children are not miniature adults. Their health care can best be provided by a facility with a well-trained medical and hospital staff whose only interests and concerns are with the total health and well-being of infants, children, and adolescents.
