Health & Wellness HOSPITAL Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center’s new 74 acre campus will include a new three story Medical Center, the Thompson Cancer Survival Center for Outpatient Treatment, the new Dolly Parton Center for Women’s Services and the Dr. Robert F. Thomas Multi-Specialty Professional Office Building. These state-of-the-art facilities will provide patients, families and visitors excellent care and spectacular views of the Great Smoky Mountains. Part of the new campus will include an emergency department large enough to accommodate 42,000 patients a year; triple the size of the current facility. A new Intensive Care Unit and Step- Down unit for patients no longer requiring intensive care services but who continue to need close observation will also be included in the new hospital complex as will the Dolly Parton Family Birthing Unit, with a special C-Section suite, a new surgery department, enhanced technology and efficiently designed facilities such as a new imaging department and laboratory. In addition, the dietary services will be expanded to offer more options and extended hours of service in a beautiful dining atmosphere and wireless access will be available for visitors in comfortable family rest areas. Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center’s new cancer center will house some of the highest levels of cancer diagnostics and treatments combined with nationally recognized care through the hospital’s affiliation with MD Anderson. These additions will provide convenient access to cancer care in our community. This new medical complex will help provide the technology to support a loyal and growing medical staff and attract new physicians who want to live and work in this beautiful community. Fort Sanders Sevier’s vision is to create a great place for people to work, physicians to practice and patients to receive excellent care. 32 WWW.VISITSEVIERVILLE.COM 888-738-4378
Business & Industry TOURISM IN SEVIERVILLE Sevierville prides itself on a wide variety of business and employment opportunities for our residents, from industry to education. But it is tourism that provides the backbone for Sevierville and Sevier County’s growing economies. With more than 13,000,000 annual overnight visitors, Sevier County generates nearly $1.5 billion in domestic travel expenditures, pays out $353 million in payroll and employs more than 18,400 people each year. That’s why tourism is big business. But tourism is more than an economic driver for our county, it is also a large part of what makes this such a special place to live. Having America’s most visited national park in our backyard provides ample opportunities to spend time in nature while the theme parks and attractions all around us also provide nice diversions and the shopping is second to none. Sevierville’s city leadership realizes the value of tourism for our residents and works to bring new development to the area which will enhance the quality of life for everyone. Because Sevierville is a city of approximately 17,500 residents and annually supports more than 700 times that many visitors, we must maintain a much larger infrastructure system than the norm for a city our size. Out city’s needs included new roads and new water and sewer lines. Sevierville sought a way to meet those needs and provide positive economic impact. They found the answer in an events center. In 2003, Sevierville began the process of building an events center with the help of Tennessee’s Convention Center Financing Act. Through this piece of legislation, Sevierville was able to issue bonds and raise money for the construction of our new 240,000 square foot Sevierville Events Center as well as the construction of new roads and infrastructure. In fact, less than 35 cents of every dollar went towards building the events center with the rest going to infrastructure improvements. Those bonds are being paid back with tax revenue collected from new businesses located within the Central Business Improvement District-a corridor along SR 66 that expands into downtown Sevierville. The Sevierville Events Center serves as a catalyst for economic development and has already spurred nearly a $1 billion investment by private developers in Sevierville, including entertainment and lifestyle centers filled with shopping, dining, lodging and entertainment. In addition, the Sevierville Events Center, which has been designed for trade shows and competitive arts events, is booked steadily for the next 17 years. Already Sevierville hotels have seen revenue increases in “off season” winter months, and the trend is expected to continue. While Sevierville has its fair share of lodging properties, attractions and destination shopping, it has struggled to forge a clear identity with area visitors. Now, with new growth and expanded vacation opportunities, Sevierville is becoming an upscale mountain destination. With the foresight and planning of Sevierville’s leadership, our city will continue looking to the future. But regardless of Sevierville’s growth and change, we have always and will always maintain our hometown feel. SEVIERVILLE, TN 33
