CHARLESTON â In 1973, a group of union coal miners in eastern Kanawha County formed Cabin Creek Health to care for and serve families living in the regionâs mining communities. It was the first clinic of its kind in West Virginia. While the clinic has expanded to become a health system with 11 sites throughout the Kanawha Valley, its mission has remained the same. âItâs still the mission, and it really does feel â especially standing on the coal mine in Cabin Creek, right near where that mission started â that, today, weâre living the mission,â Dr. Jessica McColley, head of medical services at Cabin Creek Health Systems, said. âItâs poetic, so many years later, to still be at the mines.â
