I moved up here about 10 years ago after my mom passed away and I didn't have insurance a friend of the family was a nurse there (now retired)and told me I could get my BC filled there. When I saw the nurse practitioner I asked if she could fill other prescriptions for me as well and she decided to berate me and tell me how she was tired of my kind coming there and getting free healthcare (I am Asian American but I am from Weirton My father is white) she thought I was one of the Hispanics from the racetrack trying to get free healthcare. I don't know her name she had the worst bedside manner of any healthcare professional I've ever met and she was racist I would never suggest going to this health department.

Very unprofessional. Never in my days have I seen people that are uninterested in helping others.
