The Brooke and Hancock family resource centers have recently received a financial boost of $50,000 each from Aetna Better Health, a health care provider focused on West Virginia’s Medicaid program. This funding is set to enhance the centers' capabilities in serving local children and families, addressing a vital need in the community. Taylor Daugherty, Aetna's community development coordinator, highlighted the importance of these resources in promoting health and wellness among residents. The financial support will enable the centers to expand their programs and outreach efforts, especially in times of growing demand for family support services. Local officials and community members expressed gratitude for Aetna's commitment to investing in the health of their neighborhoods.

This initiative underscores the significance of public-private partnerships in tackling social challenges. The financial boost is expected to foster a stronger support network for families in Brooke and Hancock counties. As these centers work to implement new programs, the community looks forward to the positive changes that this funding will bring.
