Healthcare Discovery Day at Prisma Health Blount Memorial Hospital

So much energy and excitement of the hospital staff was evident today as they welcomed local high school students from Blount County and surrounding areas. Students spent the day exploring a wide variety of career opportunities in health care, clinical and non-clinical, connecting with education institutions, and real hands-on learning.

Thank you Prisma Health Blount Memorial Hospital and the other organizations involved to ensure such an important program happen for our students!

After a whirlwind of a couple days, I am finishing up my second official day as Blount County Mayor. I just want to take a moment and extend my appreciation for all of the support and kind words of encouragement.

I am humbled at this opportunity and will serve Blount County to the best of my abilities. I look forward to serving our citizens every day as Mayor, working with our Elected Officials, Commissioners, Department Heads, and all of the Blount County employees.

As I stated during our Oath of Office Ceremony yesterday, whether you are newly elected or reelected, we are inheriting in 2026 a Blount County legacy that stretches back a very long time. And we have a whole county full of people counting on us. Let us do our part, make wise decisions, and leave to those who come after us a Blount County worthy of the legacy that was left to us.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

I had the privilege of touring our local Health Department for a sneak peek of the nearly completed renovations!

We want our community to have the best experience possible when they utilize Health Department services, and these upgrades deliver exactly that. Our team is putting the final touches on a beautifully centralized layout.

A massive thank you to our Health Department Director Carissa Blackwell & staff, and the contractors who are working tirelessly to bring this project across the finish line. Another project to better serve our Blount County citizens and this region using State and County ARPA funds. We are just weeks away from the official grand opening, so stay tuned for details on our upcoming ribbon-cutting ceremony!

Today, I had the honor of joining Tuckaleechee Utility District (TUD) for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially unveil the second water line to Townsend.

This critical infrastructure milestone has been a long time coming. The second line guarantees that our community remains protected and connected, even during maintenance or unexpected emergencies.

If people remember the rockslide that happened on Old Walland Highway a few years ago, theyโ€™ll know how close Townsend came to not having water for potentially weeks. Utility companies typically cannot afford a project of this magnitude. But the use of County ARPA funds afforded our community the opportunity for this utility project and several more throughout the County in partnership with South Blount Utility District, Knox Chapman Utilities and the City of Friendsville.

A huge thank you to the leadership and crew at TUD, our local officials, and everyone whose hard work and planning made this project a reality.

Today is National Purple Heart Day, which is observed annually on August 7th to recognize the combat sacrifices of U.S. military members who were wounded or killed in action.

The history of this award, which began as the โ€œBadge of Military Meritโ€ on August 7, 1782, is a history of the many sacrifices made over the last 250 years in efforts to secure the freedoms we enjoy to this day. Since that time, our nation has made it a priority to distinguish brave service members who have been wounded or killed in action.

I am grateful I had the opportunity to say โ€œthank youโ€ to many Purple Heart recipients and veterans in attendance today at the lunch program presented by the Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 356. It is both an honor and a humbling experience to listen to the sacrifices our service members and their families make each day to preserve our freedoms.

Thank you to the Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 356 and to the many Veterans organizations honored in the program today: the United Veterans Council of East Tennessee, East Tennessee Veterans Memorial Association, Bearden High School Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, United Veterans of Blount County, Knox County Veterans Treatment Court, and the Respect and Remember Foundation.

To all our local Purple Heart recipients and veterans, thank you for your service, sacrifice and dedication to our Country.

Please join me today in expressing our extreme gratitude to the men and women who serve our Country, remembering that the protection of freedom comes with a cost.
