Bills push Mercer County heart center plans to Charleston
Three bills in the West Virginia Legislature aim to create or expand heart center programs in Mercer County. SB 190 would abolish the state Health Care Authority. SB 426 would exempt certain open heart surgery programs from certificate of need rules and allow new programs in eligible inpatient hospitals near state borders. HB 2795 would remove the 100 mile limit and permit a Mercer County heart center, with potential cross-border patient considerations and joint hospital proposals. The measures have been assigned to committees with potential floor votes.
