King, John H MD - Sharp Hospital

The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) underwent a significant reorganization on January 1, 2024, transitioning into three distinct departments: the Department of Health, the Department of Human Services, and the Department of Health Facilities. This restructuring, guided by House Bill 2006, aims to enhance service delivery and oversight for various health and human services across the state.

The newly appointed Cabinet Secretaries, including Alex J. Mayer for Human Services and Arvin Singh for Health, are focused on implementing strategic initiatives to improve public health, support vulnerable populations, and modernize systems such as Medicaid. The department also emphasizes proactive measures in child welfare, behavioral health, and emergency planning to meet the needs of West Virginia's communities.
