Why is Chattanooga such a draw for many physicans and providers choosing a place to practice? Because, especially in the field of medicine, having a life outside of work is vital. As one Erlanger physician/rock climber put it, "Chattanooga puts the great outdoors right in your backyard." Indeed, our mountains and rivers open up unlimited outdoor opportunities and scenic beauty. It's no wonder Chattanooga has become a mecca for climbers, paddlers, hikers, cyclers, hang-gliders – you name it. At the same time our city has also received accolades as a center for arts, culture, and entertainment. Residents and visitors alike enjoy our many independent restaurants, art galleries, and eclectic shops.
