The Health Wagon SUV

The Health Wagon is a mobile health clinic that serves the poverty stricken people of rural Appalachia for little to no cost to the clients. In 1980, Sister Bernie Kenny began the program with nothing more than her Volkswagen Beetle and the passion to make a difference through service. The Health Wagon has grown exponentially since it started 35 years ago. The organization now has one brick and mortar clinic in Wise, Virginia, and a second one in Clintwood, Virginia, as well as a state of the art mobile health clinic. In 2013, The Health Wagon served 11,000 patients and provided over $1 million in health care costs.

To continue its efforts in serving the people of Appalachia, The Health Wagon needs donations and community support. This GoFundMe campaign is dedicated to purchasing a SUV due to the current need of The Health Wagon for a vehicle dedicated to carrying medical supplies. Our fundraising goal is $32,000 because (prospectively) this will cover the cost of purchasing an SUV. This monetary goal was determined by researching car makes, models, safety ratings, miles per gallon, reliability and size. We have used Kelly Blue Book, Carfacts and similar sites to decide upon the best choice in SUV for The Health Wagon. We have decided upon purchasing a vehicle similar to a  2014 Ford Explorer. Additionally, we are searching for a car dealership that is willing to provide a discount or match the funds raised for the SUV.
