PRINCETON — Healthcare providers in Mercer, McDowell and Monroe Counties are among the health centers across West Virginia sharing in more than $22 million in grants which will help them during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Carol Miller, R-W.Va. “This round of funding is crucial to helping diagnose, treat, and prevent COVID-19 in West Virginia. Thank you to all of our health care professionals who are on the front lines of this disease, I am working each day to bring home all the available tools you need to protect our state.”
