I am honored to be appointed as West Virginia's first Director of the Governor's Office of Health Enhancement and Lifestyle Planning (GOHELP).  It is our mission to coordinate all state health care system reform initiatives.  The Mountain State deserves a health system that is able to meet the needs of our citizens in an equitable, fair and sustainable manner.   The values driving this approach are based on the fundamental tenets that West Virginia's health infrastructure should be based on quality care, access to care, streamlined service delivery and cost containment.  We look forward to working with our partners as we build a healthier West Virginia.

We  thank you for visiting the GOHELP website.   As always, your suggestions and comments are welcomed.
