Media Policies

Inquiries

All media inquiries should be directed to TOA East Tennessee’s Marketing Department, Sloane White at (865) 690-4861, ext. 2275 and Kristy Parker at (865) 694-7725, ext. 2241 . We understand deadlines and are dedicated to meeting them by responding to media inquiries quickly and promptly.

Coming To Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance East Tennessee

Members of the media are required to notify the Marketing Department before coming to any of our locations. All media must be accompanied by a Marketing staff member while on TOA East Tennessee grounds because of patient confidentiality concerns. Media credentials must be clearly displayed at all times for security reasons. You can email marketing@tocdocs.com or contact Sloane White at (865) 690-4861, ext. 2275 and Kristy Parker at (865) 694-7725, ext. 2241.

On-Site Filming

News crews are welcome to set up for live shots or film on the sidewalks across the street from TOA East Tennessee at any time. As a courtesy, however, we ask you notify the Marketing Department beforehand. Please do not interfere with patient or ambulance access to any entrance. Once inside the facility, all media must be escorted by a member of the Marketing staff at all times when on assignment.

Family Video

If the family uses the photos and/or video they have personally taken within TOA East Tennessee for any purpose other than personal use (for example to release to any media outlet or for publication), the Marketing Department must be notified by the family prior to release. The Marketing Department reserves the right to review the photos and will approve or deny release. Non-approval would result if the photos are in conflict with TOA East Tennessee’s policies, particularly the confidentiality of other hospital patients and staff.
