Director's Corner

8/27/2024

The Department of Health Threat Preparedness office is an extension and support office assisting our community health organizations through training initiatives and resourcing. We are dedicated to the betterment of our systems by networking with the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR).

As the Director, my priorities are to facilitate state preparedness allowing the direct support to our local agencies and citizens. Accomplishing this diligently while safeguarding state and federal resources is a primary responsibility. We have a great leader at the state, local, and departmental levels, but our partnerships and support networks allow us to be proactive and responsive to the citizens in a time of need in our great state. “West Virginia Proud”
