“Let the Midnight Special shine the light on me.” In the late 1960s, Credence Clearwater Revival covered that folk song, not too long after the Tennessee Volunteer football team won a national championship, a group that had on its team Dr. Mitch Mutter, a local Chattanooga physician. That song was about imprisonment, but it was also about shining a light of hope. Dr. Mutter has been in Chattanooga for decades, and Mitch has been a part of shining a light right here in our community.

You may have encountered Mitch through a number of ways. You may know him through his work as a cardiologist. You may know Mitch through college football, or from his wife, Carol, who taught many Hamilton County attorneys as a law professor at the University of Tennessee.
