St. Mary's Legacy Clinic

The St. Mary's Legacy Clinic is a medical clinic that travels to partner sites in underserved areas of East Tennessee to offer people without medical insurance holistic, primary care services. The clinic is a “family doctor’s office on wheels,” so SMLC provides care for both urgent health needs (i.e. acute illnesses, minor injuries, etc.) and chronic conditions (i.e. high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.). SMLC offers telehealth visits between in-person appointments, and we connect patients to more services through our partners. Most importantly, SMLC treats each person with dignity and respect and aims to provide a compassionate environment for everyone we encounter. As a Catholic ministry, SMLC follows the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services, which promote the dignity of each person. 

The St. Mary’s Legacy Clinic can offer the following primary care services as needed:

• Medical evaluations and treatment plans provided by health care professionals
• Distribution of limited donated medications through AmeriCares
• Prescriptions
• Laboratory work
• Point of Care testing with the results during the visit include:
  • glucose check (sugar)
  • urinalysis
  • urine pregnancy test
• Personalized patient education 
• Referrals to Knoxville Area Project Access for specialty services for some qualified persons
• Orders for diagnostic imaging such as ultra sound, x-ray, CT scan, or MRI when necessary
