COVID-19 VIRUS UPDATE

This is a novel Corona virus, meaning it is a new virus. Because of this, we are all still learning about how to handle it. Since it is a virus, there is no cure for it. There is currently not a vaccine. 

​We are getting daily updates from the Tennessee Department of Health, Knox County Health Department, area hospitals, and other health care organizations. 

If you are a patient at the clinic, and you are concerned that you may have come into contact with the virus, please call the clinic at 865-546-7330. A nurse will talk with you to decide what the next step is. If you have a fever, cough, or any flu-like symptoms, please contact the clinic. DO NOT COME TO THE CLINIC WITHOUT CALLING.  We are working very hard to keep all of our patients healthy, especially our high-risk patients. Calling first helps us to do this.
Our Executive Director, Melissa Knight, wants all our patients to know that InterFaith is OPEN and HERE FOR YOU during these uncertain times. Please watch this video for information about how our procedures, eligibility guidelines, and appointments have changed to best meet the needs of our community. Please continue to pray for our staff as they serve on the front lines battling this illness, and thank you for your continued support.
Please note that we are NOT a testing site. 
You can help yourself avoid the virus with the same precautions you use to avoid colds and flu:
  • wash your hands regularly and thoroughly
  • be mindful of what you're touching when out in public
  • do not touch your face
  • for now it is best to stay at home as much as possible
If you develop a fever, stay at home and contact your health provider for instruction. We will keep you updated with any changes. Until this virus passes, InterFaith is committed to remaining open to help our patients and those most at-risk in our community. ​

InterFaith Health Clinic provides accessible, affordable & quality health care services to the low-income working uninsured & underserved

About InterFaith Health Clinic

InterFaith Health Clinic was founded in 1991 to help hardworking people in our community who don't have health insurance coverage. InterFaith has served over 24,000 individual patients by providing affordable medical, dental, and mental health care & access to prescription medications. 

How Can I Help?

With a paid staff of only 24, the clinic couldn't exist without its core of volunteers. Nearly 200 people volunteer their services on-site and over 400 off site-volunteers see our patients. Each year, more than 6,000 volunteer hours are recorded on-site.

Casino Royale - POSTPONED to a date to be determined

In order to honor elected officials and medical professionals who have advised extreme caution, and in an effort to stand by our commitment to the health and safety of our patients, donors, and supporters, we are postponing our signature fundraiser, Casino Royale, to a date to be determined. 
The Emmet P. "Buck" and Linda Vaughn Endowment supports the efforts of InterFaith Health Clinic by expanding our dental services. Our goal is to raise $2  million that will be used in part, per the Vaughn family’s direction, to support the services of additional personnel (dentists, assistants, and hygienists) in order to increase capacity to accommodate the long waiting list of working uninsured that need dental care.

InterFaith Health Clinic is a not-for-profit health care ministry that serves the low-income, working uninsured and underserved. Here you will find a caring team of health care professionals who want to help you stay healthy. Our small paid staff is joined by a large number of volunteer doctors, nurses, dentists, and other specialists who volunteer their time for you and your family. We are not a government program, but we depend on the generosity of our entire community to help us provide quality health care you can afford.
