Expert Orthopedic Care in Roane County 

Covenant Health Roane now offers orthopedic services through East Tennessee Orthopedics and Sports, a clinic that treats conditions affecting bones, joints and muscles for both children and adults. 

“Our focus is helping patients understand what is causing their pain and how we can address it,” said Michael Hay, MD, an orthopedic surgeon with Covenant Health Roane and East Tennessee Orthopedics and Sports. “We create clear care plans and guide patients through each step.” 

Services include evaluation and treatment for joint pain, injuries and movement‑related conditions. Care decisions are explained clearly, with treatment plans focused on helping patients return to everyday activities. 

“Patients want care they can trust,” Dr. Hay said. “That trust comes from experience, communication and follow‑through. All things we prioritize at our clinic.”

When surgery is needed, patients remain within the Covenant Health system. Surgical care is supported by our trained surgery team at Covenant Health Roane who specialize in orthopedic procedures. 

“Our surgical teams work closely with our orthopedic surgeon to provide safe, organized care,” said Jenny Adcox, BSN, RN, CNOR, Surgery Nurse Manager. “Patients know what to expect and feel supported throughout the process.” 

From preparation through recovery, teams focus on clear communication and patient safety.
