Nestled in the beautiful Sequatchie Valley, surrounded by the forested mountains of the lower Appalachians and soothed by the blue-green waters of the Tennessee River, the town of Jasper offers quiet, country living with all the conveniences of the “big city” of Chattanooga just 27 miles away.

The Hospital
Grandview Medical Center is a 70-bed Joint Commission-accredited hospital licensed by the Tennessee State Department of Health. The hospital was built in 1998 and encompasses over 100,000 square feet. Grandview serves approximately 59,000 patients each year and offers a wide range of specialized services and programs. In addition to the main hospital, the campus also features an adjoining four-story, 60,000 square-foot medical office building and an 8,000 square-foot inpatient mental health facility, Mountainview Treatment Center. Over 123 privately practicing physicians treat and refer patients to the hospital, with 35 physicians and many nurse practitioners practicing full time in the area.

The Community
Once a year, during the last weekend of every April, Marion County hosts the National Cornbread Festival, a world famous event that attracts tens of thousands of people. Marion County has four main municipalities: Kimball, Jasper, South Pittsburg and Whitwell. Jasper serves as the county seat. South Pittsburg is currently undergoing extensive renovations to its downtown district, including the restoration of the historic Princess Theater. In nearby Whitwell, plans are underway to build a new multimillion dollar public middle school to replace the current building that also houses the internationally renowned Children’s Holocaust Project. Whitwell already has new high school and elementary school buildings.

Jasper and South Pittsburg both have elementary schools just a few years old as well. South Pittsburg High School is currently building a modern, multi-million dollar gymnasium for its students and athletes. Nearby institutions of higher learning include Chattanooga State Community College, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Temple University and the University of the South.

Recreation
Marion County is situated among an abundance of outdoor recreation opportunities. Fishermen can choose from dozens of lakes and rivers, including Nickajack Lake. Fed by the beautiful Tennessee River, its 10,300 acres feature well over 200 miles of shoreline. Hunting, hiking, canoeing, boating, camping, spelunking and hang-gliding are popular activities. Golf courses dot the area with some of the most scenic panoramas in this part of the country. For baseball fans, Chattanooga hosts a minor league team, the Lookouts, while the major league Atlanta Braves are just 90 minutes away. Pro football fans can easily travel to Nashville to watch the Tennessee Titans or see the Falcons compete in Atlanta. For college football, the University of Tennessee Volunteers play at legendary Neyland Stadium, just up the road in Knoxville.
