On Tuesday, Nov. 29, a diverse team of Children's physicians, trainees, and faculty visited Calhoun, Ala., in the heart of Wilcox County. This Black Belt region is likely the most impoverished in the U.S. Our team saw health care delivery first hand visiting the Spartan J. Paul Jones Hospital and outpatient clinics. The county has only three practicing physicians, one dentist, and no psychiatrists. Its single youth enrichment program, Bama Kids, is in dire need of literacy materials and resources. A ferry ride brought us to the history rich but resource destitute Gee’s Bend area. Our visit instilled new insights into health disparities the challenges of rural poverty, and the resilience of those who practice there. We left inspired and grateful to our Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) hosts for the venture.
