The Marshall Community Health Consortium was established in 2014 by the working association of the Marshall University School of Medicine (MUSOM), Marshall Health, Valley Health Systems (VHS) and Cabell Huntington Hospital (CHH) to foster and promote the development of community-based rural primary care residency programs. The Consortium’s mission is to train physicians in rural settings to help meet the projected shortfall of physicians within the State of West Virginia, the Tri-State area and Central Appalachia.
