We are also certified by the state of Tennessee as the only Comprehensive Regional Pediatric Center in East Tennessee. At East Tennessee Children's Hospital, children are our only concern, and that is what drives our mission: to provide the best possible health care to every child we serve from East Tennessee, southwest Virginia, southeast Kentucky and western North Carolina. It is a mission that centers on a profound and unchanging commitment to the physical, educational and emotional needs of each child. As the only medical center in East Tennessee devoted solely to children, Children's Hospital operates under one critically important guideline: children are not small adults.
