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.

Last Night’s YWCA YWCA Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia
tribute to women was a resounding success, recognizing remarkable women who have made a lasting impact. All award recipients were outstanding individuals, and we were particularly proud of Dr. Paula Hill Collins, DNP, FNP-BC, our Vice President and Clinical Director. During her tribute, she eloquently cited Queen Esther's timeless wisdom, echoing the phrase 'perhaps you were created for such a time as this.' May these inspiring words resonate with us moving forward. Congratulations to the YWCA on a commendable tribute to women; thank you for acknowledging exceptional contributions. The second picture features Dr. Paula Hill Collins and Dr. Teresa Owens Tyson, DNP, recognized in 2025 for her leadership by the YWCA, and we are proud to have two exceptional women leading our organization.
