About Us

Located in the heart of West Knoxville,  atop a hill among mature pine trees, dogwoods, 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 our 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, just one mile east of Interstate I-140.
