🩸 November is American Diabetes Month — a time to raise awareness, support prevention, and empower those living with diabetes.

In West Virginia:
• Approximately 15.9% of adults have been diagnosed with diabetes.
• An estimated 8,400 adults are newly diagnosed each year in the state.
• Around 34.8% of adults — more than one-in-three — have prediabetes.
• Diabetes places a heavy financial burden on our state’s healthcare system and communities.

Across our state, Community Health Centers are on the frontlines offering screenings, education, nutrition counseling, and chronic disease management to help West Virginians take control of their health.

💙 Together, we can reduce the burden of diabetes and create a healthier future for our communities. Learn more about resources and care available near you at www.wvpca.org

Supporting and Treating the Addiction-Impacted Family: A Cross-Sector Endeavor in Parkersburg, WV

This month, WVPCA’s Director of School-Based and Behavioral Health Services, Carolyn Canini, joined behavioral health providers from Coplin Health Systems for Supporting and Treating the Addiction-Impacted Family: A Cross Sector Endeavor.

Hosted by Coplin Health Systems and the Office of the Public Defender Fourth Judicial Circuit, in partnership with the Opioid Response Network (ORN), the event brought together experts and community leaders to share insights on treating substance use disorders, supporting pregnant and parenting families, and improving coordination across health, legal, and recovery systems.

One of the most powerful moments was the “In Their Own Words” fishbowl discussion—an open conversation with local residents who courageously shared their lived experiences in recovery and interactions with the justice and child protective systems. Their stories highlighted both the challenges and opportunities for systems to work together toward better outcomes for families.

A heartfelt thank you to Coplin Health Systems, the Office of the Public Defender, and ORN for hosting this impactful event. 💙
