St Luke's Community House

St. Luke's was established in 1913 to cover the medical requirements of the women and kids whose male relatives were inmates in the state penitentiary. In 1920, St. Luke's relocated to its present site and continued serving as a clinic until 1996, when TennCare cuts forced the agency to terminate these services. Since that time, St. Luke's has continued to develop and is now the only major social service agency in the area providing a range of programs including childcare, mobile meals, emergency food, home repairs, tax assistance.
