Health Considerations in West Virginia
West Virginia has among the highest rates of respiratory disease in the United States, driven by the legacy of coal mining, high smoking rates, and challenging terrain that limits healthcare access in rural communities across the state's mountainous Appalachian region. The state also has high rates of diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, which means urgent care presentations for routine illness often involve patients managing multiple complex chronic conditions.
