Getting treatment in the Vaya Health region

Vaya Health covers the twenty western and mountain counties, from Wilkes and Watauga through Buncombe and out to the far western tip of the state.

In the mountains, distance is unreliable in a way it isn't elsewhere. A road that takes forty minutes in September takes considerably longer in January and is sometimes not passable at all. Any treatment plan that depends on physically reaching a specific building on a specific date has a seasonal failure mode built into it.
