We are featuring four patients including two from Bristol and two from Holston Valley.  Doyle Phillips had a total hip replacement.  Janet Phipps, who also works in HR, had both knees replaced.  They are from Bristol.  A woman named Linda had a knee replaced last August and the other replaced in November.  The program has meant so much to her that she is now volunteering at HVMC Every Step Joint Replacement Center to help the new patients.

A charming 69 year old woman named Nancy Flick had just left her home to go see a movie when her car was struck head on.  She suffered two broken legs, a broken arm and a shattered pelvis.  Nancy was on life support for a week.


Charlie Beverly was never one to sit still.  He bikes from Norton to Big Stone Gap to work every day.  He was almost home when he was struck by a truck.  He was crushed.  He was taken to HVMC where Dr. Testerman performed surgery on his leg.


For the second time in three years, Holston Valley Medical Center has been named one of America’s 100 best heart hospitals, a significant designation that is a result of the facility’s superior patient outcomes, quicker recovery times and shorter lengths of stay.
