On this West Virginia Week, growing pains in the Eastern Panhandle and a new plan to house homeless veterans in Huntington by the end of August.  Also, the head of West Virginia’s third largest university hit the road this week. We'll tell you why. And, the state is poised to pick up hundreds of thousands of federal dollars to help offset Medicaid cuts – but will it be enough to prevent rural hospital closures?

Maria Young is our host this week. Our theme music is by Matt Jackfert.
