About Us
Located in the heart of West Knoxville, atop a hill among mature pine trees, dogwoods, maples and magnolias, you'll find Little Creek, one of East Tennessee's most reputable nursing facilities.
Originally founded in 1940, by Seventh-day Adventists, Leland and Alice Straw and Roger and Genevieve Goodge, Little Creek began as a self-supporting school, dairy farm and medical institution. Their Christian beliefs and principles are still an integral part of Little Creek today. It is important to Little Creek's reputation that we provide a Christian atmosphere - by our actions and words.
Adventists believe the key to wellness lies in a life of balance and temperance. Nature creates a wealth of good things that lead to vibrant health.
A vegetarian diet, pure water, fresh air and sunlight—promote clean, healthy lives.
Come visit our 50 acre, hidden gem, in the heart of West Knoxville, located off Northshore Drive, 1 mile east of Pellisippi Parkway, Northshore exit.
