Governor Morrisey Announces $500,000 to Strengthen Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Services in Eastern West Virginia

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Governor Patrick Morrisey today announced a $500,000 Rural Health Transformation Program award to Potomac Highlands Guild to strengthen mental health and addiction recovery services in eastern West Virginia. The funding will provide new technology to help healthcare providers identify patients who need additional support, reduce paperwork, and spend more time caring for those struggling with mental health challenges and addiction.

“Getting more West Virginians healthy and back into the workforce starts with making sure people have access to the care and support they need,” said Governor Morrisey. “This investment will give our behavioral health providers better tools to help people overcome addiction, improve their mental health, and get their lives back on track. That’s good for our families, our communities, and the future of West Virginia.”
