The recent financial contributions from Aetna Better Health to the Brooke and Hancock family resource centers mark a pivotal moment for community support in the region. Each center received a $50,000 donation on September 19, 2024, aimed at enhancing their services for local children and families. Taylor Daugherty, community development coordinator for Aetna, highlighted the importance of investing in local initiatives that address the needs of vulnerable populations. The funds will be utilized to expand programs that provide essential resources, including educational support, healthcare services, and family counseling. This financial assistance is vital in helping the centers reach more families and improve their overall well-being.

The partnership with Aetna reflects a growing commitment to community health and support systems in West Virginia. Both centers are well-regarded for their efforts to create positive changes in the lives of families facing challenges. This donation not only strengthens their capacity but also underscores the importance of collaboration between health care providers and community organizations.
