On this West Virginia Morning, Beckley native Gayle Manchin became the first West Virginian to serve as federal co-chair of the 13-state Appalachian Regional Commission. Curtis Tate spoke with her about the commission’s accomplishments since President Joe Biden nominated her to lead in 2021.
Also in this episode, the first known U.S. case of a new emerging Mpox strain was identified in California on Nov. 16. While the risk to the public remains very low, Appalachia Health News Reporter Emily Rice spoke with Michael Kilkenny, the executive director of the Cabell/Huntington Health Department about the new strain and how to avoid it.
