Rural Health Day & The Health Agenda

Rural Health Day & The Health Agenda

Alongside dozens of other organizations, WVRHA took to the WV State Capitol on Friday, January 27th to celebrate WV Rural Health Day. The legislative agenda is WVRHA’s foundation and our chance to speak up for our advocacy efforts in 2023. We aim to unite people, communities, and organization to continue strengthening rural health efforts in West Virginia.

This year WVRHA’s Policy Commitee has decided to focus on four broad categories: healthcare workforce recruitment and retention, preserving the Certificate of Need program, preserving WV’s strong childhood immunization policies, and addressing diseases of despair.
