Coplin Health Systems will receive $1.5 million in federal funding to construct a new healthcare facility in Parkersburg, U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito announced Friday.

The funding, secured through congressionally directed spending in the fiscal 2026 appropriations bill, will support construction of a new facility housing clinical space, administrative offices and a separate multipurpose building for training, community meetings, group behavioral health therapies and wellness events.

“The project will expand access to integrated healthcare services in a Health Professional Shortage Area, helping address clinical needs and barriers to good health in our community,” said Rob Dudley, president and CEO of Coplin Health Systems.

The allocation is part of $59.265 million in federal funding directed to 13 West Virginia healthcare projects by Capito, a Republican who chairs the Senate Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee.

“These allocations represent a significant investment in the health and well-being of all West Virginians,” Capito said in a statement. “By securing these funds, we are delivering critical resources to strengthen rural health care infrastructure, expand access to essential services and support the dedicated providers who serve our communities every day.”

The largest allocation — $15 million — will go to Charleston Area Medical Center to upgrade technical infrastructure and cybersecurity technology across its South Region facilities.
