question emergency medical attention near SE rivers New

Howdy.  I am trying to compile a list of the medical centers (somewhere that can do stitches, or deal with a fracture or dislocation?) close to the rivers that our outdoor club paddles- specifically the:

Ocoee
Nantahala
Chattooga (iii/iv)
Nolichucky
French Broad
Pigeon

Also, I'm interested in EMS contacts for these areas- where to call for an ambulance.  Obviously, you don't just call for an ambulance from Dick's Creek, but if I had to hike out, what number could I call from the takeout or Clayton?  Come to think of it, it is also important to know the nearest landline to call on.   Anyhow, if anyone knows of a central location for this kind of info, or can just send their knowledge my way, I'd appreciate it.  Jonathan
