What we do

Over 1 million encounters since 2006!

Since 2006, Knoxville Area Project Access has coordinated more than $425 million dollars in donated health care to more than 38,000 low-income East Tennesseans without access to health insurance or government-sponsored program. KAPA coordinated over 103,000 medical encounters from July 2023 - June 2024.  99% of all patient appointments are kept by KAPA patients.
