HURLEY, Va. - When Diane Dotson is sick, she waits for the wagon.

If she's lucky, it'll only be a few days. But it could be a several weeks before St. Mary's Health Wagon, a free mobile clinic that makes rounds in central Appalachia, arrives in this remote community in southwest Virginia to help the sick.

The clinic squeezes in next to a car wash, parked in Sister Pauline Champagne's front yard, where she chats with patients sitting on lawn chairs in the makeshift outdoor "waiting room." As Sister Champagne calls off each name from her clipboard, patients step into the cramped quarters of a modified RV.
