FAIRMONT â Members of the Marion County faith community have voiced opposition to a bill that calls for closing the stateâs four long-term care facilities, including the John Manchin Sr. Health Care Center.
The Fairmont Council of Churches approved a resolution opposing House Bill 2626 because health care is so vital to Marion County, said Council President Cathy Reed.
âIf the John Manchin Sr. Center would be shut down think about those 30 or so patients that live there. Where would they go? Where would their families be able locally to place them without them having to go further away?â said Reed.
