Abstract
Many stereotypes afflict our much-maligned region, and the Jonesborough-Washington County History Museum displays eight of these "myths of Appalachia." Here, our Editor-in-Chief suggests a ninth-that the people of Appalachia "do not care" about their health-and argues that regional health disparities result not from apathy but from a confluence of socioeconomic factors.
