U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) recently toured the expansion project at West Virginia Health Right’s main facility in Charleston, W.Va. The project is set to be completed later this month and was made possible in part through a Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) award secured by Senator Capito in September 2022.
During her visit, Senator Capito highlighted the important work that West Virginia Health Right does in providing vital care and services to West Virginians in need. She noted the rapid growth of the organization in the Kanawha River Valley over the past decade and praised the dedication of their workforce. Senator Capito played a role in securing funding for the expansion efforts, which will allow West Virginia Health Right to continue serving the state well into the future.
Senator Capito has been a longtime supporter of West Virginia Health Right and their mission to provide care to underserved populations. In June 2021, she participated in the opening of the West Virginia Health Right clinic on Charleston’s West Side. In September 2022, Senator Capito secured $4,000,000 through a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) CDS request to assist in the expansion efforts for West Virginia Health Right that she toured during her visit.
