The Hamblen County Office on Aging presents the new edition of the SENIOR
CITIZENS SERVICE Directory. It is published as a public service for the
Senior Citizens of Morristown and Hamblen County.
We thank each of our SPONSORS who helped to make the Directory possible. We ask
that you to review the Ads and support these SPONSORS because they supported the
Senior Center and the seniors of Morristown and Hamblen County.
We hope by providing a list of phone numbers, e-mails, and web sites that seniors and
others will be able to obtain needed services from the appropriate agencies and
organizations that will meet their needs. Our goal is to make the directory a valuable
informational resource for all senior citizens, their families and professionals who serve
the senior population.
We welcome the notification of services, which were omitted from this publication for
inclusion in future publications of the SENIOR CITIZENS SERVICE DIRECTORY. If
you have questions regarding services available for senior citizens, please call the
