Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va. Two centers are in the region: •Ritchie County Primary Care Association Inc. in Harrisville - $334,325. •Wirt County Health Services Association Inc. in Elizabeth - $249,795 The funding will enable the health centers to assist even more West Virginia students through health screenings, health promotion and disease prevention activities, and enable children with acute or chronic illnesses to better manage their conditions at school.
