What is Wild, Wonderful & Healthy WV?

No matter what your respective role is – to mitigate the opioid crisis, to ensure our children are ready for school and adults are ready to work, or to support economic growth – it all begins with healthy West Virginians. No one of us alone will have all the answers, but the direction we must go is clear, and together we can achieve our vision of a healthy West Virginia.

Wild, Wonderful & Healthy Webster County’s Vision

Webster County Re-Invented:  A Place where the healthy choice is easy, and citizens enjoy a high quality of life.

Priority Focus

Physical Inactivity.

While Webster County has a myriad of health issues on which we could focus our work,  the Community Health Improvement (CHI) Committee will focus on increasing opportunities for physical activity. The lack of access to physical activity opportunities in the county can lead to increased rates of chronic disease and a reduced workforce that impedes economic growth. 

To accomplish this goal, we have defined a measurable objective that will guide our work:

Objective #1:  Decrease physical inactivity in adults by 2% (from 36% to 34%) by June 30, 2027.  

CORE Support Team

A small group of individuals from the partner organizations are responsible for organizing the community health planning process and moving it forward. The current CORE Support Team consists representatives from the following organizations:

• Webster County Economic Development Authority
• Webster County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau
• Town of Cowen
• Webster Memorial Hospital
• Camp Caeser
