西弗吉尼亚州拨款逾390万美元扩充乡村医疗培训：查尔斯顿地区医疗中心获三项资助
西弗吉尼亚州州长Patrick Morrisey 10月30日在该州卡纳瓦县查尔斯顿市宣布，通过州「乡村医疗转型计划」向查尔斯顿地区医疗中心（CAMC）拨款逾390万美元，共分三项资助，用于扩大乡村地区的临床培训与医疗人力储备。
第一项50万美元用于实践型临床与模拟培训，并配套虚拟导师制，让乡村学员不必长途跋涉也能获得带教；第二项169万3946美元用于乡村执业输送管道项目，参与的临床人员每年可获1.5万美元支持、五年最高7.5万美元，条件是承诺在Vandalia Health系统服务五年；第三项173万6320美元投入「成功之路」项目，帮助慢性病患者在治疗期间保住工作或重返岗位。
这笔拨款来自总额约1.995亿美元的西弗吉尼亚州乡村医疗转型计划，资金100%由联邦医疗保险与医疗补助服务中心（CMS）经卫生与公众服务部拨付。州卫生厅厅长Arvin Singh表示，乡村医院长期面临招人难、留人难，这三项资助分别对应培训、输送与患者就业支持三个环节。
联邦医疗保险与医疗补助服务中心主任Mehmet Oz在州政府公告中表示，这项投资将加强西弗吉尼亚州的乡村医疗体系，让居民在本地就能获得高质量护理。
West Virginia Awards Over $3.9 Million to Expand Rural Health Training at Charleston Area Medical Center
West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey announced in Charleston, Kanawha County, on October 30 that the state's Rural Health Transformation Program will award more than $3.9 million in three grants to Charleston Area Medical Center (CAMC) to expand clinical training and the rural health workforce.
The first award, $500,000, funds hands-on clinical and simulation training paired with virtual mentorship, so rural trainees can be supervised without long travel. The second, $1,693,946, supports a rural practice pipeline in which fellows receive $15,000 a year, up to $75,000, in exchange for a five-year commitment to the Vandalia Health system. The third, $1,736,320, funds Pathways to Success, which helps patients with chronic disease stay at work or return to work during treatment.
The awards are part of West Virginia's roughly $199.5 million Rural Health Transformation Program, funded entirely by the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. State Health Secretary Dr. Arvin Singh said the three grants target the three points where rural systems struggle most: training, recruitment and keeping patients employed through treatment.
CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, quoted in the announcement, said the investment will strengthen rural health care in West Virginia and help residents receive high-quality care close to home.
