The primary care centers administered by Rural Medical Services, Inc. provide primary health care to the people of Cocke and Jefferson Counties, Tennessee. Our medical staff consists of Family Practice Physicians who are board certified and trained as specialists in evidence-based family medicine. Rural Medical Services employs Nurse Practitioners who have special training above a registered nurse. They are qualified to perform diagnostic studies, prescribe medicine and treat almost any illness. The Migrant Health Program is based in Parrottsville, Tennessee and serves the Spanish speaking population of Cocke, Hamblen, Jefferson, Greene, Sevier and Grainger counties. Services are available in English and Spanish for general primary care including prenatal care, delivery, postpartum, well child checks, immunizations, family planning and sick visits. The Migrant Health Program provides outreach to the Hispanic population in the form of home visits to perinatal patients, emergency follow-up, outreach clinics at farmworker labor camps and housing areas, and health education. Together the Family Practice Physicians and Nurse Practitioners form a team that is able to provide complete and comprehensive health care for everyone.
