Ministering
to the Health Needs of the Underserved in Appalachia
The
people of Bath and Carter counties in eastern Kentucky are no strangers
to hard times. With a 30 percent unemployment rate in Carter County alone,
it’s a struggle for residents to put food on the table, let alone
pay for medical care. Two programs funded in part by the Adrian Dominican
Ministry Trust, however, are helping the uninsured and underinsured receive
adequate medical attention in this area of Appalachia. More
