Why should Physicians participate?

 Knoxville Area Project Access is a broad community effort to provide access and coordinate needed healthcare services for those who are least able to obtain such services. KAPA is primarily based on other successful Project Access efforts in communities across the country.  KAPA brings together a network of healthcare providers committed to serving Knox County residents who are without coverage under private or government-sponsored health insurance plans, have an income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, and have a medical need.  KAPA offers a full continuum of healthcare services without charge to those who qualify.

During the first 3 years of operation, the physicians and hospitals of Knox County donated over $17 million dollars of care to our neighbors in need through the Knoxville Area Project Access program.  Thousands of Knox County residents without insurance now lead healthier and happier lives because of the caring medical professionals in East Tennessee.  More help is still needed!  We need your participation to continue to provide care to those in need.
