The Healing Fields

Hundreds of uninsured and underinsured Americans flock to Wise County, Va., every year to seek treatment at a makeshift field hospital operated by the Remote Area Medical Volunteer Corps. For three days in this isolated corner of Appalachia, a small army of health-care professionals offers medical attention to patients who are not likely to see another doctor or dentist all year. The annual clinic saves lives and alleviates suffering, but in the face of a growing national health-care crisis, it may not be enough.

This project was nominated for a News & Documentary Emmy Award in 2009.

Why We Compete - Adrenaline


I traveled to West Virginia with Post photographer Preston Keres to cover BASE jumping at Bridge Day 2007 for our Why We Compete series.
