Former Governor Puts Up Challenge Grant

In an effort to keep a medical van operating, former Kentucky Governor Brereton Jones has put up $70,000 in a challenge grant designed to raise an equal amount to replace $140,000 the legislature did not provide to keep the van that serves eastern Kentucky on the road. Since 2003, the van has made weekly stops in Wolfe, Lawrence and Morgan counties to provide healthcare to the needy, more than half of them uninsured. There are about 2,000 patients a year treated.
