Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic | 312 Prince St. | Sevierville, TN 37862
Mountain Hope Clinic is proud to be the only health care ministry in Sevier County that exclusively treats the medically uninsured.
Since the population of Sevier County is largely based on tourism and many jobs are seasonal in nature many citizens are without medical insurance. Mountain Hope was founded to provide a medical home to those in need of our care. We provide primary medical care, limited dental care, and help patients apply for pharmaceutical assistance. We make referrals to outside medical specialists for conditions that cannot be treated on site. Many of them are willing to work out payment plans with our patients who have a limited ability to pay.
Our Mission:
Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic is a community clinic which provides quality healthcare for the medically uninsured who live or work in Sevier County, Tennessee.
Our Core Values:
Guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ, we value:
- all human life
- compassionate and professional healthcare

We are committed to serve all who seek our services, without regard to age, race, sex, religious beliefs, national origin, or handicap. 990 and other documents are available upon request.**
Mary Vance is a member of Our Savior Lutheran Church and we are happy to support this community ministry.
