Location:
Enka Center, located off Smokey Park Highway and Sand Hill Road.
(Former American Enka Co. site and home of the historic Enka Clock Tower.)
AdventHealth chose a location that would increase access to care in an area currently without coverage and would not duplicate services in a location that already had coverage.
