ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

• Athens Regional is the 2005 recipient of LifePoint Hospital’s “High Five” Award for outstanding performance in all five of the company’s core values: quality patient care, creating an excellent workplace for employees, supporting physicians, providing community value and ensuring fiscal responsibility.
• Sophisticated medical technology is a hallmark of the hospital. Athens Regional offers a state-of-the-art 1.5T MRI Scanner, a 64 slice GE Lightspeed CT Scanner, two ultrasound systems, nuclear medicine, PET/CT and complete x-ray imaging.

Tennessee Wesleyan College, located in Athens, offers a wide range of majors in its four-year program. The University of Tennessee at both Knoxville and Chattanooga are within easy commuting distance. Also, Cleveland State Community College has a satellite location in Athens and the Workforce Development Center offers several 2-year degree programs and courses. The Tennessee Technology Center at Athens also provides a wide range of programs and certifications.

• Watts Bar Lake is a 39,000-acre recreation area that offers sailing, water skiing or fishing.
