🤝 We at Integrated Health Centers of West Virginia (IHCWV) were deeply honored and incredibly proud to welcome West Virginia State Treasurer Larry Pack to our Harrisville Campus on August 13. His visit was a significant occasion, culminating in the signing of a proclamation that declared August 3 through August 9, 2025, as National Health Center Week.

It was a privilege to have Treasurer Pack take the time to visit our facility and personally recognize the vital role that community health centers play in the health and well-being of West Virginians. Treasurer Pack signing the proclamation demonstrates the value he and his office place on accessible, affordable healthcare for everyone.

National Health Center Week is a time to increase awareness about the comprehensive healthcare services that health centers provide, and their efforts to reach underserved populations, and address health disparities in our communities. Having a state leader sign this proclamation highlights the significance of this week and the ongoing efforts of health centers across West Virginia.

Treasurer Pack's presence and commitment to officially recognizing this important week send a strong message to our communities and patients. It affirms health centers’ essential role in America’s healthcare system and underscores the need for continued investment and support.

💙 We sincerely thank Treasurer Pack for his visit, thoughtful words, and steadfast support of health centers. This proclamation marks a significant milestone for us and the thousands of West Virginians who depend on the vital healthcare services health centers provide.

We'd also like to thank all the attendees, including three of our board members, Sam Yoho, Christopher Miller, and Steven Smith. And many thanks to Lite Rock 93R, Ritchie Gazette & the Cairo Standard, and WBOY 12News for covering the event: https://www.wboy.com/news/ritchie/state-treasurer-recognizes-community-health-centers-during-national-health-center-week/

West Virginia Goes Purple 2025 is a statewide initiative led by The Hope Dealer Project in observance of National Recovery Month every September.
The Color purple is used to symbolize the struggle taking place in our communities across the Country as individuals, families, health care providers, and law enforcement agencies face the growing crisis of opioid abuse.
The Doddridge County Prevention Partnership (DCPP) is focused on prevention, treatment, and recovery resources available in our community. We emphasize the role local agencies play in combating this epidemic, by raising awareness, showing our support, inspiring and empowering those affected by substance use disorder and promote conversations around the dangers of substance misuse and abuse.
The DCPP encourages all Doddridge County citizens to observe this Septembers West Virginia Goes Purple by wearing purple, lighting up your homes or businesses with purple lights, tying a purple ribbon on your tree, fence, or door. Get creative, make a purple heart display. You can display purple in any way and show your support and increase awareness.
It's great to see communities in West Virginia coming together to support initiatives like West Virginia Goes Purple 2025. Raising awareness about opioid abuse and substance use disorder can help inspire those affected and promote crucial conversations. If you're involved with the Doddridge County Prevention Partnership (DCPP) or know someone who could benefit from their resources, it might be worth reaching out for more information on how to get involved or show support.
We would like to say thank you to all of our local organizations who have shown up with their support and to the Doddridge County Commission for signing the proclamation in support of the West Virginia Goes Purple 2025.
