About Us
Welcome to the West Virginia chapter of Physicians for a National Health Program! We invite physicians, other health professionals, and all West Virginians to join us in advocating for a national, single-payer healthcare system.

We are non-partisan. Healthcare is not a partisan issue. Everyone wants to be healthy and feel well.

The pages on this site tell a story: About America's broken health system, the causes, how our system measures up against other countries, fixing the broken promise of Medicare, and finally, we end with our proposed solution.
PNHP West Virginia is a chapter of Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP). PNHP was founded by physicians in 1988 in response to the growing for-profit privatization of healthcare in American. We invite you to join both organizations. Together, we can work towards an affordable, comprehensive, inclusive healthcare system for everyone in America.
Reforming the American health care system is crucial
to ensuring that everyone can access quality care
We Believe
We believe that physicians have a responsibility to bond together and fight for a better healthcare system. By working together with all healthcare professionals, health advocacy organizations, and the public, we can have a greater influence on health policy, and make a real difference in the lives of patients and the future of healthcare.
Our Mission
Physicians for a National Health Program and our West Virginia chapter are committed to helping doctors join other forces to change from a for-profit system to one that is based on providing a patient-first system for all and one in which doctors can provide quality, more comprehensive care that is tailored to individual needs, free of the abuse of corporate players focused on profits.
