Whether it is the simplicity of a twisted ankle or the severity of a catastrophic motor vehicle crash, the emergency service teams at the hospitals of Wellmont Health System stand ready to provide exceptional care when you need it most.
Our extensive network of emergency care centers serve families throughout Northeast Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, Eastern Kentucky and Western North Carolina.

And the emergency department staffs of Lonesome Pine Hospital, Hawkins County Memorial Hospital and Hancock County Hospital stand ready to care for you day or night.
Board-certified emergency physicians and highly trained nurses and technicians staff each emergency room and provide around-the-clock care for adult and pediatric patients. Thanks to the Quick Care and Fast Track programs, patients who need to see a doctor quickly but don’t have life-threatening injuries are guaranteed to be seen within minutes. And patients’ families are kept up-to-date with information and provided spiritual counseling through patient liaisons and pastoral care services.
