Peoples Bank will donate its current Pleasantville branch building at 102 N. Washington St. to the Knoxville Hospital & Clinics.

“Donating this building is a way for us to use our resources to help the entire Pleasantville community,” said Peoples Bank President and CEO Kevin Halterman. Peoples Bank will soon break ground on a new 4,000 square foot facility at the intersection of Highway 5 and West Jasper Street which is expected to open in early 2018. Representatives say with the donation of the building the Knoxville Hospital and Clinics can continue to provide service to the people of Pleasantville, which it has been doing for the past 12 years with the Pleasantville Clinic. Pleasantville City Administrator Joe Mrstik says, “The clinic will make it easier for our growing community to have access to necessary medical services, without having to leave Pleasantville”.
