CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Governor Patrick Morrisey today announced a $2.4 million investment to expand access to worksite-based healthcare services across West Virginia. Through the state’s Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), the funding will expand employer-based health services and strengthen workforce participation as part of the Health to Prosperity (HTP) initiative. With this announcement, total funding opportunities and implementation initiatives under RHTP now exceed $88.5 million.
“A stronger workforce starts with a healthier workforce,” said Governor Morrisey. “Too many West Virginians leave the workforce or struggle to stay employed because manageable health conditions go untreated. By bringing preventive care and occupational health services closer to where people work, we’re helping people stay healthier, remain on the job, and strengthening our workforce at the same time.”
