As the team at Tennova - Turkey Creek Medical Center, we see the fragile, extraordinary nature of the human heart every single day. Our physicians, ER staff, and cath lab professionals have dedicated themselves to providing our Knoxville community with advanced heart and vascular care. We witness life-changing moments in our operating rooms, our 24 active clinical trials, and our cardiac rehabilitation centers as we help patients return to the activities they love.

However, the truth is that the most critical lifesaving moments often happen before a patient ever reaches our hospital doors.

In a heartbeat, you could be the difference. Right now, 9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don’t survive. Most of the time, this tragedy occurs simply because no one nearby was trained to perform CPR. Together, we can change that.

This is why the Heart Walk is so deeply important to us at Tennova. Extraordinary things happen when people take action. A small step. A simple skill. A lifesaving moment. The Heart Walk brings our entire community together to create health and hope for every heartbeat. Every walker who joins, and every dollar donated, means more people trained in CPR, more research for advanced cardiovascular treatments, and more lifesaving moments for everyone.

Our hospital team fights heart disease every single day, but extraordinary starts with YOU. Join our Tennova Turkey Creek team today or support our community by donating towards our fundraising goal. Together, we can ensure every heartbeat counts.
