AlignCare Knoxville will be hosting a Town Hall meeting December 6, 2022, at 6pm EST, at the UT Creamery, 2712 Neyland Drive, Knoxville, TN 37916.

Pets are family, and when pets cannot get the care they need, they may suffer from illness or the risk of being surrendered, causing distress for the entire family. AlignCare removes these family stressors by support to families and veterinary care for their pets in need of sick or urgent veterinary care.

AlignCare, is the National one-health healthcare system that increases access to veterinary care for families currently underserved. The program also enables social service and animal care professionals to meet their goals in serving families. 

AlignCare Knoxville has been in operation since 2020 and the AlignCare Knoxville Town Hall will provide updates on current activities, as well as discuss future plans and how you can help families in need of access to veterinary care in our community.

  • AlignCare funds cover up to 80% of a pet’s veterinary costs.
  • AlignCare engages other community groups organizations to work together to help families in need.
  • AlignCare Veterinary Social Workers provide non-medical support to enrolled families and AlignCare Veterinary Service Provider partners.
