Explanation
(This amendment provides $38,356 from the general fund the second year for the St. Mary's Health Wagon; last year's approved budget reduced general fund support by a like amount. The Health Wagon provides a medical home to 3,000 patients in Southwest Virginia who have no other health care options. The Health Wagon coordinates the annual Remote Area Medical (RAM) clinic that serves another 3,500 patients during a three-day regional event and provides over $2.0 million in free medical services. The organization returns eighty dollars of services for each dollar of revenue.)
