Turkey Creek Medical Center, located at 10820 Parkside Drive in Farragut itself, offers a 24/7 emergency room, ICU, advanced surgical suites, and a dedicated heart hospital, with digital mammography and cardiac/pulmonary rehabilitation programs. Farragut residents also have close access to the broader Knoxville hospital network: University of Tennessee Medical Center, UT Medical Center Heart Hospital, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, East Tennessee Children's Hospital, and Parkwest Medical Center (Tennova/HCA and Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce sources, retrieved 2026-08-22).
NeighborhoodScout's favorable read
NeighborhoodScout frames Farragut favorably: safer than 67% of U.S. cities/towns/villages, safer than 73% of Tennessee communities, with a 1-in-185 overall victimization chance and a violent crime rate of 2.5 per 1,000 versus a cited national average of 3.6 per 1,000 (retrieved 2026-08-22).
CrimeGrade's less favorable D+ grade -- a real, disclosed disagreement
CrimeGrade gives Farragut an overall D+ grade, placing it in roughly the 28th safety percentile -- meaning it reads as safer than about 28% of cities graded but less safe than 72%. This is a REAL, DISCLOSED DISAGREEMENT with NeighborhoodScout's more favorable framing above; the two sources characterize Farragut's overall safety very differently, and that disagreement is disclosed here rather than resolved by picking the more flattering read. Confirm current, address-specific crime data directly with either source before relocating.
