November 14, 2001

The Charleston Area Medical Center (CAMC) Health Education and Research Institute in West Virginia has been awarded $690,000 to care for HIV patients -- the largest grant ever received by the institute. The Ryan White Title III grant will go toward providing comprehensive early intervention and primary care services for people with HIV in 16 southern West Virginia counties: Boone, Braxton, Clay, Greenbrier, Fayette, Kanawha, McDowell, Mercer, Monroe, Nicholas, Pocahontas, Putnam, Raleigh, Summers, Webster and Wyoming. At CAMC, the number of HIV patients has increased by about 23 percent annually for the past three years. The program will be coordinated through the medical clinic at CAMC Memorial Hospital.
