Missouri Lumber and Mining Company
- ... that c. 1900, the Missouri Lumber and Mining Company provided health care to field workers with a mobile clinic transported by railroad flatcar? Source: [1] "two fully-equipped travelling units--small, two-roomed buildings that could be loaded and unloaded onto railroad flat cars--that acted as dispensary, operating room, examining room, and sleeping quarters for the travelling physicians who visited each camp three times a week."

The article is new, created within the last seven days and meets the required length. It scores low on the copyvio detector. The hook is reliably sourced, but I would add "a pioneer of company-sponsored health care" after the name to be more attention-grabbing. Less Unless (talk) 16:54, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
MB - what do you think about modifying the hook? Less Unless (talk) 16:47, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- Less Unless, I'm hesitant to do that. Being "a pioneer of company-sponsored health care" is pretty bold. It is in the source, but it could be a bit subjective and the source isn't exactly a history of health care in the U.S.; I wouldn't put that in a hook without a another source.

- MB, I see your point, I agree. Less Unless (talk) 15:28, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
