throughout the region — thanks to a tremendous partnership with Marshall University ’ s department of dentistry , oral and maxillofacial surgery and their dental residency program .
WV Health Right is constantly searching for new , innovative and effective ways to care for those in need across West Virginia . Our mobile units are an integral part of that mission , as are our partnerships with countless , equally determined individuals and organizations from around the state .
Our COVID-19 response effort , which led to a massive increase in the number of patients and services we provide in our community , was only possible due to an all-hands-on-deck approach and the tireless commitment of those involved . Our team of dedicated staff and volunteers assisted the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department in providing COVID-19 vaccinations to more than 100,000 individuals . Additionally , we have offered over 50,000 COVID-19 screenings , tests and vaccinations from our main clinic ’ s three-lane drive-through .
Considering the continued need for and growth of our services , we have decided to undertake the renovation and expansion
West Virginia Health Right ’ s COVID-19 Response
Over the course of the pandemic , our dedicated team of staff and volunteers has :
• Provided 43,493 COVID-19 tests
• Conducted 22,908 COVID-19 screenings with Manna Meal
• Provided 4,850 COVID-19 vaccines on-site
• Partnered with the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department to administer more than 100,000 vaccines in total
of our main clinic on Charleston ’ s East End to double the clinic ’ s size . This expansion presents an exciting opportunity for our entire community , as we intend to position our clinic not only to continue providing essential services to our most vulnerable population but also to meet our community ’ s increasing health care needs as we carry on through the pandemic and strive to emerge stronger on the other side .
WV Health Right operates on the philosophy that every person is entitled to quality health care , regardless of personal finances or insurance status . We remain committed to this principle while we continue to fill existing and emerging health care gaps across the Mountain State .
