From Wise County to the Smithsonian: The First FAA-Approved Drone Delivery

Share on social media.

We’re honored to be mentioned by Congressman Morgan Griffith in his recent newsletter, recognizing the historic first FAA-approved drone delivery in the U.S., which took place right here in Wise County in 2015.
That groundbreaking mission—made possible with a number of incredible partners—delivered medical supplies to the Remote Area Medical clinic, now known as our Move Mountains Medical Missions clinic, showing the power of innovation to reach patients in remote areas.
Nearly a decade later, the Health Wagon continues to push the boundaries of rural healthcare through mobile units, telehealth, advanced technology, and remote monitoring tools.
Whether by road, by air, or by satellite, our mission remains the same: bringing quality, compassionate care to the people of Central Appalachia.
