Senator Capito visited the expansion project at West Virginia Health Right’s main facility today. The project, which is expected to be completed later this month, was made possible in part through a Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) award secured by Senator Capito in September 2022. During the tour, Senator Capito expressed her support for West Virginia Health Right, highlighting the vital care and services they provide to West Virginians in need.
Senator Capito acknowledged the rapid growth of the organization in the Kanawha River Valley over the past decade and praised the dedication of their workforce. She emphasized the importance of the expanded facility in ensuring that West Virginia Health Right can continue to serve the community well into the future. Senator Capito has a history of supporting West Virginia Health Right and their mission to provide care to underserved populations. She participated in the opening of the West Virginia Health Right clinic on Charleston’s West Side in June 2021 and secured $4,000,000 through a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) CDS request to support the expansion efforts of West Virginia Health Right.
The tour allowed Senator Capito to see firsthand how her efforts have contributed to making this expansion possible, and she reaffirmed her commitment to supporting organizations that provide essential services to West Virginians.
