Kingsport – with its unique mix of rich history and cutting-edge technologies – combines many of the benefits one might expect from a large city with the relaxed atmosphere and lifestyle of a much smaller town. A wide variety of shopping and dining opportunities exist, from trendy boutiques and national chains to local antique stores and eateries in the vibrant downtown district. In fact, the Tri-Cities region, of which Kingsport is a part, was named a winning community for the All-America City Award in 1999. And the August 2005 issue of Golf Digest ranked the Tri-Cities as the second best region in the United States to play golf.

Whether you choose to live on a golf course, on the water or with a magnificent mountain view, our region has ample housing opportunities and one of the lowest cost of living averages in the nation.

Holston Valley Medical Center is a tertiary referral center that serves several counties throughout Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. Our 505-bed facility is staffed by more than 450 board-certified or board eligible physicians and more than 2,000 nurses, technicians and support staff members.

Holston Valley is committed to the highest standards of quality in health care and customer service. HealthGrades, the nation’s leading independent healthcare ratings organization, recently acknowledged Holston Valley in as the number one hospital for cardiology in the state of Tennessee. America’s nearly 5,000 non-federal hospitals were all included in the study, which examined mortality rates and complication rates from government data from 2006, 2007 and 2008.

Additionally, Holston Valley’s cardiac program was named a Top 100 Heart Hospital based on quality outcomes by Thomson Reuters in 2005 and 2007. Other key services include a Level I trauma center, Level III neonatal intensive care unit and The Christine LaGuardia Phillips Cancer Center.

The hospital is also growing to meet the needs of the communities it serves. Project Platinum, a $113 million renovation and expansion plan announced in 2005 and scheduled for completion in 2010, includes a new intensive care unit, new operating suites, expanded emergency and radiology departments, additional parking areas and a new grand entrance drive and bridge to provide improved hospital access.
