On Wednesday (February 6^th) we celebrated FIVE years in Washburn!  God has blessed this mission tremendously.  When we started we sometimes would have no patients or just one or two.  On Wednesday we had a full schedule plus handled a couple of walk-ins.  Thank you Washburn and Grainger County community for allowing us to serve you the past 5 years.

The Knoxville Academy of Medicine Alliance is hosting its 14th annual Doc Rock event, “the ultimate battle of the physician bands” at the THE CONCOURSE (adjacent to The International) 940 Blackstock Ave. Proceeds from the event support local medical charities including the St. Mary’s Legacy Clinic, so we hope you can attend and vote for the band playing for us called “BBS”. The cost is $20 at the door, and $100 for VIP seating. This is a smoking-free event for ages 18 and up. Please contact Susan at kamalliance@gmail.com for more information.

The more supporters we get to attend, the greater is our chance to win first place.
