Entrepreneur Bobby Buck centered in the photo with Ron Spellman to the left and Dr. Edward Murphy, CEO of the Carilion Clinic owns INFOBUCK.COM. INFOBUCK.COM is listed as one of the 325 successful businesses by the home-based entrepreneur magazine, "Home Business" in the April 2008 edition.  Bobby Buck completed his thesis "The Dynamics of a Good Business Suggestion" while working with the Carilion Health System and received the "Certificate of Appreciation" from the US Department of Commerce in 2005.  He parted with Carilion and established INFOBUCK.COM in 2006 in Roanoke, VA. The business now provides the benefits of preventative healthcare technology throughout the US via the Internet.  In order to educate people about the critical needs of improved healthcare, he designed a college course for Virginia Western Community College that is now promoted via his website at no charge.  His research by door-to-door survey in the valley revealed that many people may go to church 25-50 times a year, but may see a physician one or two times a year, if at all.  Oft times, many can't afford to fill their prescriptions because of a lack of sufficient healthcare insurance or no insurance.  With the assistance of Congressman Bob Goodlatte, he provided churches access to technology to locate where and how to get medications at little or no charge.  He's working with the ministers of many churches in and around the valley in aiding the members of their congregations.  Check with the minister of your church for help. Going a step farther, he established an agreement with a local pharmacy to provide many of those medications more cheaply than Wal-Mart's.  His latest venture is providing specially prepared meals for diabetics delivered to their door, in conjunction with medical transportation for a local taxi company.  You can find out more about the business of INFOBUCK.COM by going to the website www.infobuck.com.
