Williamson Health and Wellness Center

What Williamson Health and Wellness Center does

Williamson Health and Wellness Center (WHWC) is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) headquartered in Williamson, West Virginia, founded in 2013 by Dr. Christopher Beckett. It operates as an independent private nonprofit providing integrated medical, dental, podiatry, behavioral health, chronic-disease management, wellness coaching, and 24/7 crisis services to residents of Southern West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky on a sliding-fee scale. The center's model is explicitly holistic and community-based, with the stated intent of shifting focus from treatment to prevention and "impacting where patients live, learn, eat, work, and play."

WHWC's service delivery is anchored at a single physical facility, supplemented by a healow-powered patient portal for scheduling, records access, and provider communication, and a Healthmark Group-powered medical records request system. The center has no disclosed proprietary technology platform, mobile application, or API surface. Marketing is limited to organic social media and community outreach, consistent with a community health center rather than a tech-enabled care model.

WHWC's business model is built on three revenue mechanics typical of FQHCs: federal grants, Medicaid and Medicare FQHC reimbursement, and sliding-fee patient payments based on income. Recent strategic moves include a 2024 $50,000 Appalachian Regional Commission grant, an August 2025 partnership with Peak Health (the integrated insurance arm of WVU Health System) to administer employee health benefits for WHWC and Williamson Memorial, and a mutual strategic alliance with WVU Health System aimed at expanding community-based care in southern West Virginia. The leadership team is led by CEO Dr. Beckett and includes a CNO with ~22 years of nursing experience, a COO recruited from DaVita, a CFO, a CMO, and a CSO with policy engagement at the state level.
