Family Care of Chilhowie: Caring for Generations of Local Families

Healthcare is most meaningful when it is built on trust, consistency, and long-term relationships. At Family Care of Chilhowie, we are proud to provide hometown family medicine rooted in decades of service to the Chilhowie community and surrounding areas.

A Tradition of Local Care

Family Care of Chilhowie continues a long-standing healthcare tradition that began with the Greever Clinic in the late 1940s. For generations, families in Smyth County have relied on local providers who understand not only their medical needs, but also their lives, families, and history.

Today, that tradition continues with a dedicated team led by Gerard Murphy, M.D., a board-certified family physician who has served the community since 1997. Alongside him, Rebecca Nash, FNP and Jessica Reynolds, FNP bring years of combined experience in caring for patients of all ages—from newborns to seniors.
Together, they continue to strengthen the foundation of family medicine in Chilhowie.

Family Medicine for Every Stage of Life

Our clinic provides comprehensive primary care services designed to support patients throughout every stage of life. Whether it’s preventive care, ongoing treatment, or same-day medical needs, our goal is to provide accessible and dependable care close to home.

Our services include:

  • Wellness exams and preventive care
  • Same-day sick visits
  • Chronic disease management
  • Minor in-office procedures

By offering a wide range of services in one location, we make it easier for families to receive the care they need without unnecessary travel or referrals.

A Team That Knows You Personally

One of the most important parts of family medicine is continuity of care. Our patients are not just charts or numbers—they are neighbors, families, and long-term members of our community.

Many patients value the ability to see familiar providers who understand their history and health needs. This continuity helps us provide more personalized, efficient, and effective care.
