CAPITO ANNOUNCES CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING AWARDS FOR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS ACROSS WEST VIRGINIA

Press Release

"Establishing a rehabilitation science and training center at UC will provide students with the opportunity to learn essential health care skills right here in West Virginia. Efforts like this can make a meaningful difference in our communities, and I am looking forward to its completion.

I am proud to have delivered resources for Potomac Valley Hospital to build this satellite site. As the telehealth industry continues to grow as a viable option for health care in West Virginia, the new cardiology and dermatology suites deliver treatment to people right in their homes. This facility has the potential to reach the Keyser community both virtually and in-person, creating a new outlet for care that will serve thousands of West Virginians in the future.

The new opportunities available with better tools and more optimized space at Shepherd's chemistry department will help students and professors achieve more in the classroom and find success. This is great news for our students in Shepherdstown and I look forward to seeing the impact these upgrades will make.

The opioid crisis has devastated far too many West Virginians, their families, and their communities across our state. I was proud to secure this funding for Huntington CARA so we can help fight back against the drug crisis with a holistic and coordinated response. This funding will help bring local resources together and help combat the scourge of addiction.

The Minnie Hamilton hospital has been serving Grantsville and the surrounding area for decades. With this support, the facility can continue their vital work and reach a higher standard of care.

WVSOM works hard helping prepare medical professionals for their careers and I was proud to secure these resources that strengthen their expansion. With this support, WVSOM can continue their mission of educating our osteopathic medicine workforce of the future.

The Roane General Hospital has long served the people of our state, and I'm proud to secure the support they need to continue that tradition. Not only will these resources be used to replace old facilities, they will help modernize the clinic with new furnishings and technologies that can allow it to serve patients even better than before.
