Health care continues to be major driver of Kingsport's economy
The medical community in the Model City has continued to develop over the past decade, including expansions and improvements at Indian Path Medical Center and Holston Valley Medical Center.
“The medical facilities here — we have two outstanding hospitals,” Kingsport Mayor Dennis Phillips said. “You’d have to go a long way to get any better medical services than what’s here.”
...The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the Kingsport-Bristol Metropolitan Statistical Area grew from 12,900 to 17,100 health care employees over the past 10 years for 420 new jobs per year. The Johnson City MSA grew from 8,800 to 11,400 over the same period, or 260 new jobs per year.
