Health Board May Lose Funding in Beckley West Virginia
State Health Department officials threaten to withhold funding for the Beckley Raleigh County Board of Health for the coming fiscal year. Dr Mel Henry says Raleigh County could also lose state aid if it does not fund the local health board. Henry testified in a deposition over the county commission's refusal to fund board operations. He notes state officials will scrutinize the funding issue amid disturbing reports. If the county withholds or reduces its contribution, the state portion will be cut similarly.
