Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, announced $1,652,400 from the American Rescue Plan (ARP) for two West Virginia hospitals and one health center to support COVID-19 testing, vaccinations and treatment and staffing to ensure these healthcare providers can continue providing quality healthcare services.
