U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers issued the following statement in memory of Eula Hall, founder of the Mud Creek Clinic in Floyd County. Eula Hall passed away on Saturday at the age of 93.

“Eula Hall was one of Eastern Kentucky’s greatest saints. No challenge was greater than her courage to change the circumstances of healthcare in the mountains. Driven by her own experience with poverty, Eula dedicated her life to ensuring every person had access to medical care, regardless of their ability to pay for services or prescriptions. She pioneered hope on Mud Creek and far beyond the borders of Floyd County. When I called Eula on her 90th birthday, she was doing what she loved most - working at the clinic that she transformed from a home-grown operation into a modern facility with state-of-the-art equipment. She will always be a legend in Kentucky’s Appalachian region and an inspiration to never stop serving those around us.”
