Appalachian Access — Healthcare. Anywhere.

Where would you like to start?

Four ways in. Pick whichever sounds most like your situation — you can always change course.

Can't find what you need in the directory? Ask a navigator to help you look. A 45-minute navigation session with a real person is $79.

Provider directory

Specialists and clinics, listed honestly

Search by specialty, location and telehealth availability. Verified providers carry a badge, sponsored listings are always labeled as sponsored, and a sponsor can never outrank a provider who actually has availability. Your information is only shared with a provider after you consent.

  • Verified provider badges
  • Sponsored listings clearly labeled, never ranked above availability
  • Filter by distance and telehealth
Community

Chronic Disease Community Circle

Free, moderated virtual peer support for adults living with chronic illness. Members use first names only, a trained host moderates every session, and community rules apply. This is peer support — it is not medical care, therapy or crisis services.

Learn about the circle
  • First names only — no last names or medical records
  • Hosted and moderated, with a way to report concerns
  • In an emergency call 911; for mental health crisis call or text 988
Our mission on wheels

The mobile field clinic

A trailer with pop-up telehealth pods — the physical extension of everything here — bringing access to church lots, community centers and fairgrounds across the mountains. Search clinic days by distance from your ZIP and tell us what your community needs. Initial and planned specialties are listed on each clinic day, and pricing for clinic days is still being determined.

Explore clinic days
  • Filter upcoming clinic days by ZIP radius
  • Planned specialties may include rheumatology, neurology, behavioral health and dental
  • Save your interest and get notified when a clinic day is near you

How Appalachian Access works

Start anywhere. We help you find the option, and a person can help you decide.

Tell us what you need

A specialty, a condition, or just 'I don't know where to start.' Browsing does not require an account.

See real options near you

Providers, clinic days and recruiting studies, ranked by fit and how far they are from home.

Express interest and track it

Send an application or interest request and follow its status. A navigator can help if it stalls.

For patients

Tell us your condition and where you are. We surface providers, clinic days and recruiting studies near you — you express interest and track your application from one place.

Find care

For researchers and providers

Post your study or listing, set eligibility, and reach motivated participants. Review interest, message candidates, and manage enrollment from one dashboard.

Get listed

Not sure what you need?

Searching is always free. When you want a person in your corner, a 45-minute navigation session is $79.

Talk to a Patient Navigator

This is patient navigation, not clinical services.

Navigators help you find and reach care. They do not diagnose conditions, give medical advice, prescribe or change treatment, and using this site does not create a patient–provider relationship.

Patient navigation is a paid service: $79 for a 45-minute session. Your navigator confirms the cost before any work begins.

If this is a medical emergency, call 911. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
