Dr. Teresa Owens Gardner Tyson, DNP, MSN, FNP-BC, FAANP, is a preeminent figure in rural healthcare. She currently leads St. Mary’s Health Wagon as its President and CEO. Born into the modest surroundings of a coal miner's family in Appalachia, her upbringing was steeped in firsthand experiences of the healthcare challenges that pervade rural communities. These formative years laid the groundwork for her unwavering dedication to advancing medical care in underserved areas.

Under Dr. Tyson's visionary leadership, the Health Wagon has flourished, evolving from a mobile clinic into a comprehensive healthcare network. This network now proudly includes two stationary clinics, several mobile units, a pharmacy, and a dental clinic, serving as a lifeline for thousands of Appalachian residents. The effectiveness of this expansion was highlighted in 2024 when the organization managed nearly 29,000 patient interactions, demonstrating its critical role in the community.

Dr. Tyson has been instrumental in integrating innovative technologies to enhance healthcare delivery. Her pioneering efforts in telehealth have dramatically increased access to specialist care for isolated communities, mitigating the need for long-distance travel, which many residents cannot afford. Additionally, she introduced the first FAA-approved drone delivery system for pharmaceuticals in the U.S., revolutionizing how essential medications are distributed in remote areas.

The Move Mountains Medical Mission, spearheaded annually by Dr. Tyson, is a cornerstone of her healthcare philosophy. This event provides comprehensive, free healthcare services to thousands, addressing acute medical needs while emphasizing the importance of preventative care. Her belief that healthcare is a fundamental human right is manifest in her commitment to these extensive outreach efforts, which aim to elevate overall community health standards.

Dr. Tyson’s initiatives have not only reshaped healthcare delivery in Appalachian, Virginia, but have also captured the attention of a broader audience. Her work has earned her spots in national and international discussions, where she advocates for rural health issues at platforms such as the United Nations and the World Health Organization. Her innovative approaches and tangible results have garnered her numerous accolades and have made her a respected voice in global health conversations.

In addition to her leadership and operational roles, Dr. Tyson is passionate about education and mentorship. She has recognized the need for sustained medical services in rural areas and has established educational collaborations with over 50 institutions. These programs immerse students in the realities of rural healthcare, preparing them to continue the mission of the Health Wagon and ensure its longevity and impact.

Looking forward, Dr. Tyson is dedicated to further expanding the capabilities of the Health Wagon. Her plans include enhancing diagnostic services, increasing the availability of specialist care, and incorporating advanced medical technologies. These initiatives are designed to provide holistic and continuous healthcare to Appalachia, ensuring that the region’s residents receive the best possible care.
