Wellmont hospitals offer a broad scope of services ranging from community-based acute care to highly specialized tertiary services including neonatal intensive care and two trauma centers.
Complementing the services provided by each Wellmont hospital are other facilities within the system. Ridgeview Pavilion in Bristol offers comprehensive psychiatric services. Wellmont Madison House, located in Kingsport, provides assisted living and a therapeutic day program for frail elderly persons and mid-life adults with chronic illness. Wellmont Hospice House in Bristol offers care for terminally ill patients in a comfortable environment.
Wellmont Health System is governed by a volunteer board of directors made up of physicians, business leaders and community residents. In addition, a board of directors at each hospital provides guidance and input.
Wellmont is one of the region’s largest employers with a staff of more than 7000 dedicated professionals. Nearly 600 physicians deliver care at Wellmont facilities across Northeast Tennessee, and Southwest Virginia.
