Designating February 16, 2026, as Rural Health Day
This is a ceremonial Senate Resolution (SR 38), not a substantive bill. It formally designates February 16, 2026, as "Rural Health Day" at the West Virginia Capitol. The resolution acknowledges rural health care providers - including hospitals, clinics, and emergency services - and recognizes their efforts in addressing health care challenges in rural West Virginia. It has no legal effect beyond this symbolic recognition and does not impose new requirements or change existing laws.
