Knoxville Academy of Medicine Foundation adds Atlas™ resource intelligence to its existing NinePatch care coordination network
KNOXVILLE, CO, UNITED STATES, November 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — NinePatch, Inc. today announced that the Tennessee Community Resource Network (TCRN), operated by the Knoxville Academy of Medicine Foundation (KAMF), went live on NinePatch Atlas™ on November 6. Atlas gives healthcare providers and community organizations on TCRN verified, current information on local services across 23 East Tennessee counties, inside the NinePatch platform they already use for referrals and care coordination.
The November 6 launch marks a significant expansion of KAMF’s four-year relationship with NinePatch, building upon an established care coordination platform that has supported TCRN’s regional community health initiatives for several years.
Through this initiative, KAMF is taking a pioneering role in advancing how healthcare and community organizations connect individuals with essential services, demonstrating a forward-looking commitment to innovation and collaboration. Its continued investment reflects a broader vision of strengthening the region’s care infrastructure and improving health and social outcomes for the individuals and families of East Tennessee.
Atlas delivers curated, continuously verified resource data with NinePatch’s referral and care coordination workflows, so care coordinators can find, confirm, and refer to services in one place. At launch, Atlas covers hundreds of verified programs across the region.
Dr. Lisa Holt, Chief Wellness Officer at NinePatch, commented:
“Behind every referral is an individual seeking support, and behind every meaningful connection is a community working together. KAMF’s visionary leadership, alongside our partnership with CommonLight Technologies, demonstrates how purposeful innovation can advance a more connected and responsive future for whole-person health. Atlas strengthens the infrastructure connecting healthcare and community resources, enabling more informed, coordinated, and actionable care.”
Jason Hopcus, CEO of CommonLight added “Access to care often begins with something simple: knowing where to turn. We are pleased to work alongside NinePatch and KAMF to help ensure the people serving their communities have dependable information that makes connecting individuals and families to support a little easier.”
For Community Information Exchanges, Health Information Exchanges, and Medicaid programs, the deployment shows how verified resource data can be added to an existing multi-county network without a platform migration.
Michelle McCrory, COO Community Health Programs at KAMF commented:
“KAMF is always looking for ways to strengthen TCRN and expand its capabilities. Our longstanding partnership with NinePatch reflects our shared commitment to improving the health and social well-being of our East Tennessee neighbors in need. When NinePatch introduced us to Atlas, we recognized an opportunity to better identify local resources and connect people with the services they need. These capabilities will help us serve our community more efficiently and reliably.”
