Established in 1982 by dedicated local physicians, WV Health Right upholds the principle that every individual deserves access to quality healthcare. By providing essential services, we empower West Virginians to lead healthier, more self-reliant lives, contributing to the strength and productivity of our communities.
Today we provide more than 47,975 medically-underserved, uninsured, and underinsured adults with free comprehensive care, and we’re proud to serve patients from 35 counties and counting.
Launched in the spring of 2021 on Charleston’s West Side, our West Side Clinic and CommUNITY Wellness Center go above and beyond providing medical care. Not only does the clinic offer a full range of healthcare services, but the wellness center includes a gym, teaching kitchen, child care services, food distribution center, and more.
Every year, we look forward to coming together to honor those who make our work possible. Attendees gather for an evening filled with celebration, great company, and a delicious, multi-course meal at the Clay Center. We are overjoyed to recognize Shelley Humphreys as our 2026 Volunteer of the Year as a special part of the night’s festivities.
We’re teaming up with James Beard Award winner Chef Paul Smith to launch Prepped To Serve, a fast-track food service and dining certification program. It’s all about new opportunities and fresh starts.
