Federal Budget Cuts Hit West Virginia Health Programs
West Virginia Health Department faces a 5.5 million dollar loss in federal funds for 27 programs in the coming federal year. Director Dr. L. Clark Hansbarger said outpatient services like mental health and maternal child health will bear the heaviest cuts, with inpatient care potentially affected as priorities shift for state dollars. Several programs will see specific reductions, including mental health centers, black lung diagnostics, drug abuse grants, and statewide family planning. The department and state corrections face related funding squeezes as LEAA and ESEA support winds down.
