McNabb Center’s EmPATH facility at 1515 St. Mary Street is the first of its kind in Tennessee.
Collaboratively supported by $2 million in funding from the City and Knox County, and another $6 million from the state of Tennessee, this Emergency Psychiatric Assessment, Treatment and Healing center will open to patients in just a few days.
People experiencing behavioral-health crises will receive help faster, and many of the up to 6,000 people a year being treated at the EmPATH unit will be diverted from hospital ERs.
