The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) underwent a reorganization on January 1, 2024, splitting into three separate departments: the Department of Health, Department of Health Facilities, and Department of Human Services. This restructuring, mandated by House Bill 2006 and signed by Governor Jim Justice, aims to streamline services and ensure continuity for residents receiving DHHR services.
Under the leadership of appointed Cabinet Secretaries, including Sherri A. Young for Health, Cynthia Persily for Human Services, and Michael J. Caruso for Health Facilities, West Virginians can expect no interruption in benefits or services as a result of the dedicated planning and preparation by DHHR staff. The reorganization is designed to maintain the same level of support and assistance for all qualifying individuals across the state.
