                        Thursday, March 6, 2014

  Mr. GRIFFITH of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, today I write in recognition 
of The Health Wagon, a nonprofit health clinic that works to provide 
mobile health services in Buchanan, Dickenson, Russell, Lee, Scott, and 
Wise Counties as well as the City of Norton. Last year, The Health 
Wagon helped more than 11,000 patients receive health care valued at 
over $1 million, and through partnerships The Health Wagon's Pharmacy 
Connect program provided patients with approximately $1.2 million in 
pharmacy assistance.
  For this and its important work with the annual Remote Area Medical 
event, its community health fairs and outreach programs, its women's 
health programs, its emphasis on education and prevention, its clinics 
including dental, eye, and specialty services, and more, I am grateful 
to The Health Wagon and its staff, supporters, and volunteers for 
serving the people of Southwest Virginia. There is no doubt that The 
Health Wagon's hard work and dedication has had an impact on countless 
lives.
