It’s been nearly a year since construction began on the Knoxville Hospital & Clinics expansion and renovation project.

CEO Kevin Kincaid says now is the more difficult time in construction process, where staff is being displaced and work can be a bit louder, but the hospital is making the best of the situation. He says that some portions of the project have been completed.

Kincaid adds the goal remains to have the major portion of construction completed before the end of the year.
