About Family Medical Care Comm Health Center

Family Medical Care Community Health Center in Newell, West Virginia, is a federally qualified health center run by CHANGE, Inc., a community action agency serving the northern panhandle of West Virginia and nearby Jefferson County, Ohio. Their addiction care fits within everyday outpatient medicine, with substance abuse treatment services and medication-assisted treatment offered alongside mental health care. They see anyone in the community regardless of age, income, insurance status, or where they live. They accept Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance, and uninsured or underinsured patients may qualify for discounts based on household income and size.

Because they are accredited as a Patient-Centered Medical Home, recovery support can be coordinated with family medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, dental care, on-site lab work, and cancer screening under one roof. Patients also have access to Family Care Pharmacy in nearby Weirton, which offers reduced medication costs through the federal 340B program and works directly with their providers. Transportation assistance and referrals for social service needs can help remove practical barriers to staying in treatment. Through the wider CHANGE, Inc. network, patients can also connect with housing, food, and income support, as well as domestic violence services, and members of the clinical staff answer calls after hours.
