Primary Care

With roots in rural East Tennessee, Dana Papworth has devoted her career to improving access to care in underserved communities. She's served as the sole provider at her own clinic in Gatlinburg, worked on a mobile unit bringing healthcare to areas without local providers, and began her journey in Sneedville, Tennessee—home to the historic Melungeon community.

Comfortable caring for patients from birth through end of life, Papworth manages chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma with a down-to-earth, honest approach. She is fluent in English and is currently learning Spanish and Arabic. 

Papworth values genuine connection, transparency, and empowering patients with the knowledge to achieve their best health outcomes.
