Funding to support health services for mothers, children

The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has awarded $1.5 million to the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources.  

The funding will support wraparound health services for women before, during and after pregnancy, and provide comprehensive care for infants and children.

“Access to quality health care is critical for mothers and their children,” said U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va. “This funding will help protect the health of new and expecting mothers and support children’s development during their most formative years." 

U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., added, “Access to affordable, quality healthcare is essential to mothers and children in West Virginia because good health starts at the beginning. I’m glad West Virginia will be receiving this funding that will make sure they can continue to serve West Virginia mothers and children the quality health care they deserve."
