FAIRMONTÂ â Members of the Marion County business community have come forward to oppose a West Virginia House of Delegates proposal to shutter the John Manchin Sr. Health Care Center.
The Marion County Chamber of Commerce released a statement Monday opposing House Bill 2626, which would close four long-term care facilities, including the John Manchin Sr. Health Care Center.
The Chamber of Commerce points to the fact that many individuals throughout the region rely on the meals provided by the Health Care Center, as well as the 40 underprivileged senior residents of the facility who will be left with nowhere to go.
