The facility is a member hospital of Covenant Health, a community-owned integrated delivery system that includes 11 acute care hospitals, 25 cardiology practices, and more than 11,000 employees system-wide.

The hospital provides a full continuum of clinical services, anchored by the Dolly Parton Birthing Unit for maternity care (LDRP suites, prenatal and postnatal support), the Emily B. Kile Comprehensive Breast Center (2D/3D mammography, MRI-guided biopsy, breast ultrasound, Automated Breast Ultrasound Screening, breast MRI, bone densitometry), and a Heart Center covering cardiac imaging, electrophysiology, interventional cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and Pritikin-certified cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.

Revenue is generated through patient care services and outpatient services reimbursed via commercial insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, and patient payments; Good Faith Estimates are provided to uninsured patients under federal rules. Patient acquisition runs through physician referrals, the Find a Doctor directory, online appointment scheduling, community programs (Covenant Health Marathon, grief and stroke support groups), and foundation partnerships such as Paint the Mountains Pink. The facility is supported by philanthropic giving through Covenant Health and serves a primary catchment of Sevier County residents plus regional East Tennessee referrals routed through the Covenant Health network.
