CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, made stops in Charleston, W.Va. focused on health care.
First, Senator Capito toured the Charleston Area Medical Center’s (CAMC) updated intensive care unit (ICU). During the visit, Senator Capito also met with CAMC leadership to discuss the updated ICU and the health system’s continued impact on the state.
“CAMC and Vandalia Health System provide tremendous care to West Virginians. I was excited to tour the updated ICU today to see how CAMC continues to provide premiere care to our neighbors in the greatest need,” Senator Capito said.
Later, Senator Capito visited the Hubbard Hospice House in Charleston, W.Va. to see the impact of the nearly complete renovation project she helped support through the Congressionally Directed Spending process. Hubbard Hospice House is a 24-bed inpatient hospice facility that is the first standalone hospice facility in the state of West Virginia.
“The Hubbard Hospice House has long been a place of peace, dignity, and comfort for West Virginians during some of life’s most difficult moments,” Senator Capito said. “I was proud to advocate for this funding because preserving this facility means preserving a sanctuary for patients and their loved ones. As this vital wing reopens, it ensures families in the Kanawha Valley continue to have access to compassionate, community-based end-of-life care in a setting that feels like home.”
“This isn’t just a building. It’s a place of peace, a sanctuary for families during some of life’s most difficult moments. Thanks to Senator Capito, our generous donors, and community partners, we’re building on a legacy of care that will last another 20 years—and beyond,” HospiceCare CEO Chris Rawlings said.
