Appalachian Highlands Care Network

Appalachian Highlands Care Network is a non-profit healthcare organization dedicated to improving access to specialty medical care for low-income, uninsured residents in the Appalachian Highlands region of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. Operating as a coordinated system of donated care, the network connects eligible patients with a volunteer pool of physicians, specialists, and diagnostic services. The organization focuses on bridging the gap in the healthcare continuum by managing referrals and ensuring that vulnerable populations receive necessary treatments that would otherwise be inaccessible. It functions as a critical component of the regional health improvement strategy, often collaborating with larger health systems to streamline charity care.
