Two counties have been awarded grants worth more than $1 million to support health care jobs, according to a press release from Senators Jay Rockefeller and Joe Manchin.
The money will go towards improving access and care at community health centers in Wirt and Pendleton Counties, according to the release.
"West Virginians deserve quality health care and community health centers are essential resources for so many people who would otherwise have trouble accessing or paying for care," Rockefeller said in the release. "Better networks for medical advice and better treatment of medical conditions lead to a healthier state. I want every West Virginian to have peace of mind about their health and the health of their families - this funding is a step in that direction."
"Helping West Virginians get and stay healthy is one of my top priorities, and strengthening our community health centers is one of the best ways to do that," Manchin said in the release. "These facilities are important community centers, both for the people who work there and those who receive care there. This grant will not only help support health care jobs, but also make sure that West Virginians will get excellent preventive and primary care to keep them healthy."
Wirt County Health Services Association will get $521,250.
