CHARLESTON, W.Va. – The following statement is made on behalf of the West Virginia Hospital Association (WVHA) HB 2007, relating to repealing the Certificate of Need Program:
“We would like to thank legislators for demonstrating their unwavering commitment to prioritizing healthcare access for all West Virginians by rejecting House Bill 2007. Their actions to not repeal Certificate of Need through this bill signify a clear understanding of how vital accessible healthcare is to the well-being of our communities and the future of our state. We look forward to working collaboratively with Governor Morrisey and the entire Legislature as we strive to ensure that every West Virginian has access to the quality care they deserve. Together, we can build on this foundation to create an even stronger healthcare delivery system that serves all residents, regardless of where they live or their economic circumstances.”
