SEVIERVILLE â UT Medical Center is working on a major expansion of its urgent care and primary care center on Middle Creek, just six years after it opened the facility.

The plans include more offices for primary care physicians as well as more space for the specialists that come to the facility to see patients, said Dr. Steven Ross, senior vice president for strategic development for the University Medical System.
It will also include a new pharmacy and relocation for the urgent care center.
