Summers doctor first in WV malpractice insurance denial
Dr. James H. Blume of Forest Hill, a Summers County physician noted for rural West Virginia work, says he is the first to be refused coverage by the new West Virginia Physicians' Mutual Insurance Co. that began July 1. He faces excess premium costs and tail coverage, plus loss of hospital privileges, after his former insurer ended. Blume notes he will practice without malpractice coverage and faces three possible paths: continue without insurance, switch to emergency medicine, or sell his practice to a hospital or nonprofit to secure independent coverage.

Bluefield Virginia town hall plans adjusted slightly
Bluefield town council at a special meeting heard a minor change to Leatherwood Company property for the new municipal building site. The modification removes a planned road near the site, alters parking configuration, and keeps the footprint intact. Groundbreaking is about two months away with bids soon.
