The Health Wagon The Health Wagon’s mission is to provide compassionate, quality healthcare to the medically underserved people in the mountains of Appalachia.

Our organization was started 42 years ago when Sister Bernadette Kenny, a medical missionary from Massachusetts, came to Appalachia and began offering free medical care from the back of her donated Volkswagen Beetle. The locals relied on Kenny for basic medical needs- referring to her simply as ‘Sister Bernie” and the care she provided as “the Health Wagon.” Today, we proudly continue her legacy, operating from mobile units and stationary clinics throughout Southwest Virginia.

🌞💙 Feel Good Friday is here, and you've made it to the end of another week! No matter what challenges you've faced, take a moment today to celebrate your progress, reflect on your accomplishments, and look forward to a weekend of rest and renewal.

“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” - Psalm 118:24

At the Health Wagon, we believe feeling good starts with caring for your whole health. Whether it's scheduling a preventive checkup, getting outside for some fresh air, spending time with loved ones, or simply taking time to recharge, every positive choice contributes to your overall well-being.

As the week comes to a close, we hope you find time to rest, laugh, and do something that brings you joy. Here's to a healthy, happy weekend! 💙

👗 Davey’s Closet: Decked Out for the Ball! 🎭✨

Tonight, we were delighted to welcome the girls from Flatwoods Job Corps to Davey’s Closet to shop for brand-new dresses and clothes for their masquerade ball! Seeing their smiles and excitement made the evening so special. 💕
Dave Love dressing up and digging out so we had to share pictures of his prom!
His memory is on in their hearts forever!
We will continue to say his name and keep his name alive! Even death can’t steal that

As you all know Davey’s mother”s heart is sure warmed moments like these
It helps fill a hole in a broken heart. Knowing that something beautiful continues to grow from the heartbreak of losing a son reminds us all that his life—and his love—still make a difference. His death was not in vain. His memory lives on in every act of kindness shared in his name. ❤️

Thank you to all the girls who came and let us be a small part of your special night. A heartfelt thank-you to our wonderful volunteers who have helped girls get ready this fall for homecoming, the Fall Ball, and tonight’s masquerade celebration. Your time, kindness, and love make these moments possible.

Girls, enjoy every dance and make beautiful memories! ✨

Dr. Teresa Owens Tyson, DNP and Megan Clark was honored and humbled to speak to an awesome group of cancer survivors at the ICAN Survivor’s Banquet. I got to tell about my daughter’s story, Ashton, as a brain tumor survivor and the resources in regards to cancer that the Health Wagon offers. So many praises to God went up and concluded with beautiful praise and worship!
