January 6, 2023
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) released the following statement regarding the Marshall Health, Logan Regional Medical Center, Mountain Health Network, and The Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine collaboration ceremony in Logan, West Virginia.
“This initiative at Logan Regional Medical Center is a massive step forward for West Virginia Health Care,” said Congresswoman Carol Miller. “As a member of the Ways and Means Committee, ensuring healthcare providers and patients have the resources they need is a top priority for me. We must continue to invest and be strategic with our partnerships to complement specialty and subspecialty care and create access to neurology, endocrinology, infectious disease, and interventional cardiology services — as well as how we deliver rural care. I am fighting every day to make sure my colleagues in Congress understand the challenges rural healthcare providers face. The partnership between Marshall Health, Mountain Health Network, and ScionHealth will be instrumental in ensuring patients have access to care in rural communities. My focus is to make West Virginia the best place to live, work, and raise a family and I look forward to seeing the Logan Regional Medical Center expand our ability to deliver quality healthcare throughout the state.”
Background:
Mountain Health Network, Marshall Health, Logan Regional Medical Center, and Scion Health have signed a Memorandum of Understanding which will enhance specialty health care services for the residents of Logan, West Virginia.
ScionHealth is a new healthcare system focused on high-quality acute and post-acute hospital solutions. In October 2021, Logan Regional Medical Center became an associated site of ScionHealth.
To prevent patients from traveling long distances for advanced medical care, Logan Regional Medical Center has chosen Mountain Health and Marshall Health to provide access to highly specialized heart, pediatric, and cancer services.
