I’m glad to see this annual HHS funding headed to West Virginia to support operations and ensure access to adequate health services. Our health care professionals have been essential throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, stepping up to help their fellow West Virginians. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue to advocate on behalf of our medical professionals and health centers across our state,” Senator Capito said.
“Our health centers are the backbone of our healthcare system and provide quality care for West Virginians, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. I am pleased HHS is continuing to invest in health centers across West Virginia to help them provide essential medical services and ensure all West Virginians have access to quality, affordable healthcare, regardless of where they live. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue to advocate for funding to support health centers in the Mountain State,” said Senator Manchin.
