About Community Voices

West Virginia Community Voices was originally founded as one of thirteen partnerships serving as national demonstration projects of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to bring the voice of the community into the development of policies and programs to improve health and health care access for uninsured and underserved populations. At the conclusion of the project, Community Voices incorporated as a 501C3 organization to continue the important work that was begun through the Kellogg project.

• Improve community capacity to develop and access quality health and social services by mobilizing, promoting and supporting community action.
