St. Mary’s Legacy Clinic hosted the TCCN (Tennessee Charitable Care Network) Regional Meeting on October 29th. We had a great group of professionals from charitable clinics who shared valuable information.

Please join the St. Mary’s Legacy Clinic staff and volunteers in giving thanks to God for all His many blessings on the mobile clinic.  Yesterday, September 11th, the mobile clinic vehicle turned 5 years old!  On September 11, 2013 the mobile clinic was delivered and dedicated to God and the service of His people in East Tennessee.  Yesterday, 5 years, 5000 patients and almost  34,000 miles later, we celebrated the day with one of our regularly scheduled visits to our site in Crab Orchard.  One of the volunteers working yesterday was present 5 years ago for the dedication.

Thank you for all your many prayers on behalf of this beautiful mission to the poor and marginalized in East Tennessee.

In Christ,

Sr. Mariana, RSM

We said farewell to our Administrative Assistant, Theresa Valero, who has served the clinic for nearly 5 years. We wish her and her family well as they prepare to move out of state this summer. Theresa wishes to thank Sr. Mariana, the staff, and all the wonderful volunteers for being a joy to work with. Maria Zevallos has stepped in to the role as Administrative Assistant, and we are so thrilled to be in such good hands for this transition.

The clinic is excited to welcome Maria to our staff! Maria will be stepping in to the role of Administrative Assistant after Theresa departs from us later this month. Maria began training in the office this Monday and is learning a LOT! Please be sure to say Hello and make her feel welcome

The clinic was pleased to host 16 nurses for our Nursing In-service on March 28th. These volunteers received further training on diabetes education, lifestyle changes for managing GERD, and motivational interviewing. Special thanks to our Nurse Manager Melissa for planning the in-service, and to guest speakers Susan Fowlkes and Sr. Monika Mary.

Thanks to a grant from Knoxville Academy of Medicine Alliance (KAMA), the mobile clinic was able to purchase office spirometry equipment. We are now able to test our patients lung functioning! Thank you KAMA!!
