The Health Wagon

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.

👁️💙 Child Vision Awareness Month highlights the importance of healthy vision for learning, development, and everyday life. Many vision problems can go unnoticed in children, making regular eye exams an important part of preventive healthcare.

“Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things.” - Psalm 119:18

At the Health Wagon, we support children’s health through wellness visits, vision screenings, and access to eye care services. Early detection of vision concerns can help children succeed in the classroom, stay active, and reach their full potential. Healthy vision today helps build a brighter tomorrow.
