Our Specialties
Palliative Care Clinic
Through a program in the Center for Cancer Care, Palliative Care is initiated at the time of diagnosis of a life-threatening illness. Each patient/family member is provided general and individual information about that patient’s particular disease, treatment modalities, and personal care. The Palliative Care Team provides physical, emotional, social, and spiritual support to the patient and caregiver by relieving suffering. Pain Management is also addressed. With physician referral, a pain management nurse will do an in-depth assessment and work with the primary physician to develop a pain management plan. This service is offered to inpatients, outpatients, and patients in extended-care facilities.
Vascular Clinic
Surgeons in our Vascular Clinic offer diagnosis, surgery, and follow-up care for those with circulatory problems such as aneurysmal disease, stroke, and non-healing leg wounds.
Voice Clinic
Our Voice Clinic offers evaluation and treatment of vocal disorders, using a state-of-the-art video stroboscope.
Urology Clinic
Our urologist is board-certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Urology Surgery, competent to manage medical and surgical disorders of the adrenal gland and the genitourinary system.
Urologists have comprehensive knowledge and skills in various surgical techniques for innate and acquired conditions of the reproductive and urinary system and their related structures.
Our Staff
Many highly-skilled physicians are affiliated with our specialty clinics. Some live in our community, and some visit us regularly from other areas. Specialists who normally only practice in larger facilities provide outreach services to Knox Community Hospital. Over a dozen staff members work with our physicians; many of these are nurses with credentials or certifications in certain specialty areas. Our entire staff has a high level of training and experience — coupled with a high degree of genuine caring — that ensures the best treatment possible for you or your loved one.
How We Can Serve You
Most of our patients come to us by referral from a primary care physician, and often your physician's office schedules your appointment for you. Follow-up visits will be scheduled by our staff and you will be able to come directly to our clinic area.
