Welcome to Valley Health, a progressive leader in quality healthcare since 1975. Valley Health provides primary and preventative care to approximately 75,000 patients each year in southern West Virginia, southeastern Ohio and eastern Kentucky. Valley Health operates over 40 healthcare facilities and is home to medical experts who provide care in family medicine, womens health, dentistry, internal medicine, ear, nose and throat, optometry, pediatrics and behavioral health. We also administer pharmacies and specialized programs including Women, Infants and Children (WIC) nutrition services, school-based health centers, black lung treatment and programs for the homeless.
Since founding those original health centers, Valley Health has seen great success and an increased need for primary care in rural West Virginia. Today, Valley Health operates over 30 health centers and public health programs in West Virginia and southeastern Ohio.
In 1991, Valley Health expanded to become the largest regional lead agency for the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program, serving six counties; two of which are the most urban counties in West Virginia. Additionally, Valley Health has managed and directly supervised grant programs such as the Federal Community Health Center (CHC) Perinatal Grant; federal Rural Health Outreach Grants; the federal Community Access Program (CAP); and the federal Black Lung Clinic grant through the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health. Valley Health has been both a grantee and a sub-grantor for the Federal Health Care for the Homeless grant that oversees not only the Harmony House Homeless Clinic located in Huntington, WV, but homeless programs throughout the state of West Virginia including Charleston, Wheeling, and Morgantown. Valley Health, in collaboration with the Childrens Health Fund, began the operation of the unique West Virginia Childrens Health Project; a mobile medical unit that has taken medical care directly to children in isolated areas since 1992.
