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 East Tennessee 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.

Since 2006, KAPA has coordinated more than $400 million dollars in donated care from area hospitals and physicians.   Thousands of East Tennessee residents previously without access to care are now leading healthier and happier lives because of the caring medical professionals who participate in KAPA.  More help is still needed!   If you are a medical professional who would like to volunteer to treat our neighbors in need, contact KAPA today at (865) 531-2766!
