Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending - Construction - This congressionally directed proposal calls for the construction of the Marshall Community Health Institute in Huntington, WV. This approximately 49,000 square foot, new facility will include clinical, educational, administrative, and research space. Primary activities conducted within the site will include: ambulatory clinical care services, medical education, and translational & clinical research activities. The overarching goal of the project will be to increase access to primary care services in Southern West Virginia. Additionally, the facility will serve as a catalyst to develop innovative solutions to the greatest health challenges faced by West Virginia; obesity and diabetes, addiction and recovery, gerontology and healthy aging, and rural health and access to care. The Community Health Institute will lead to the creation of centers of excellence aimed at addressing these areas. These physical resources will allow Marshall to develop multi-disciplinary and multi-faceted strategies to improve the health and well-being of patients experiencing these challenges. These activities will include increased rural health outreach, innovative services focused on addressing obesity, new programs focused on healthy aging, and the expansion of Huntington’s nationally-recognized efforts to address addiction. While the primary focus of the facility will be patients in Southern WV, the goal of the program is to develop innovative solutions that will serve as a model for the region and the nation.
