Hygeia Facilities Foundation

Hygeia Facilities Foundation, doing business as Raleigh-Boone Medical Center, is a non-profit health center that provides healthcare services to underserved communities. As a federally qualified health center, it receives federal grant funding to support the provision of primary care, preventive health, and enabling services to vulnerable populations in its service area.

Through prime federal grants from the Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration, Raleigh-Boone Medical Center has received over $1.5 million in funding since 2020 to expand COVID-19 vaccination capacity and services. It also utilizes grant funding to provide healthcare services related to black lung disease through sub awards from the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources' Black Lung Clinics Program. Raleigh-Boone Medical Center's federal grants align with national healthcare priorities around infectious disease control and treatment of occupational illnesses in mining communities. The health center plays an important role in carrying out federally-supported initiatives to expand access to vaccines and address health disparities through community-based care.
