Mobile Clinic Provides Lung Scans for Buffalo Employees Using Federal Funding
What happened
A mobile lung CT screening clinic provided services to employees at Buffalo on September 30. The clinic, which checks patients for lung cancer, is part of a program supported by the federal government’s Rural Health Transformation Program, which was authorized under Donald Trump’s 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Vandalia Health is extending its healthcare services to cover the area of Harrison County.

Why it matters
The Rural Health Transformation Program provided West Virginia with $199 million in its first year, guaranteeing a minimum of $100 million annually. However, KFF notes that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is expected to reduce federal healthcare spending by over $1 trillion over the next 10 years and increase the uninsured population by 10 million people.
