Monroe County Health Center Board Of Trustees

Monroe County Health Center Board Of Trustees is a U.S. local government entity located in Union, West Virginia, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since December 2006. The organization serves as a county-level healthcare administrative body responsible for managing and operating healthcare services in Monroe County. Positioned at 200 Health Center Drive, the center is primarily focused on providing essential healthcare infrastructure and services to the local community, with a particular emphasis on public health initiatives and emergency preparedness.

The health center has received federal grant awards primarily from the Department of Health and Human Services, specifically through the Healthcare Systems Bureau and Bureau of Primary Health Care. Its most recent significant grant, valued at $294,000, supports the construction of a new administrative building designed to serve dual purposes of expanding healthcare services and functioning as an emergency command center during potential disasters like flooding or fires. The organization has been actively involved in COVID-19 response efforts, receiving grants for expanding vaccination capabilities and providing safe testing and vaccine services. In February 2022, the center worked in collaboration with the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources as a sub-grantee to provide COVID-19 testing and vaccination, with a specific focus on maintaining the health of patients at increased risk of adverse effects from the pandemic. These grants demonstrate the health center's commitment to public health infrastructure, emergency preparedness, and responsive healthcare services for its community.
