Aetna Better Health of West Virginia opens new Community Resource Center in Clarksburg

CLARKSBURG, WV – Aetna Better Health® of West Virginia, a CVS Health company (NYSE: CVS), today announced the opening of a new Community Resource Center (CRC) located within the Community Care of West Virginia’s Clarksburg facility. Open to the public, the center provides access to supportive health-related resources and a welcoming space for community meetings.

The CRC plans to host wellness events and vaccine clinics to help address gaps in care and bring services closer to where people live. The space also offers flexible meeting rooms, computers for virtual care appointments and teleconferencing capabilities for community use.

For Aetna Better Health of West Virginia members, the center will provide in-person support from care managers several days a week, along with the option to schedule one-on-one meetings outside of typical clinical hours.

“This Community Resource Center strengthens our ability to provide accessible health care support and meet people where they are,” said Todd White, CEO of Aetna Better Health of West Virginia. “Whether someone needs one-on-one assistance, attends a wellness clinic or participates in a community meeting, the center offers valuable resources to the local community.”

“Community Care of West Virginia is proud to partner with Aetna Better Health of West Virginia to bring this Community Resource Center to Clarksburg,” said Patricia “Trish” Collett, CEO of Community Care of West Virginia. “In a region where access to care and support services can be a challenge, this space helps remove barriers by connecting people to the resources they need close to home. Together, we are expanding whole-person care beyond the exam room and creating new opportunities for individuals and families to improve their health and well-being.”

Community Resource Centers extend care beyond traditional health care settings by connecting people to local health and social services in their communities. With nearly four in 10 West Virginians living in rural areas, CRCs help bring resources closer to home and support stronger health outcomes, economic stability and family well‑being.
