Milan Puskar Health Right

What Milan Puskar Health Right does

Milan Puskar Health Right (MPHR) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit free and charitable healthcare clinic headquartered in Morgantown, West Virginia, founded in 1984 on the premise that every person has a right to healthcare regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. The organization provides integrated primary care, mental health counseling, harm reduction services, and medication assistance to uninsured and underinsured West Virginia residents earning up to 250% of the Federal Poverty Level, and also accepts Medicaid and three managed care plans. Its core service portfolio includes the Primary Care clinic, the LIGHT Program (Living In Good Health Together — West Virginia's first syringe access/harm reduction program, launched August 2015), Mental Health and Outreach, Friendship Fairmont (a mental wellness drop-in center in Fairmont), a West Virginia-licensed Charitable Clinic Pharmacy, Community Engagement Services, Social Services, and Specialty Clinics. The clinic operates from a Morgantown clinic (10 Scott Ave.; patient address 341 Spruce Street), a Fairmont site, and a mobile harm reduction van, with Community Engagement Specialists active across Monongalia, Marion, and Preston Counties. Technology infrastructure is intentionally lightweight: standard website (mphealthright.org), Facebook and Instagram channels, PayPal for donation processing, and Paubox for HIPAA-compliant patient messaging — there is no proprietary platform or AI/ML component.

Milan Puskar Health Right reports a staff of 30 supported by a volunteer corps of more than 200, delivering over 28,000 patient encounters and dispensing more than 55,000 prescriptions per year, with 3,000–7,423 clients served annually and 556+ specialty care referrals facilitated. The business model is grant- and donation-funded: revenue derives from individual contributions (including monthly donors), United Way of Monongalia/Preston Counties and United Way of Marion County allocations, federal/state/local grants, major foundation gifts (seven+ donors at $100K+ including the Hazel Ruby McQuain Charitable Trust, Mylan Charitable Foundation, The Tanner Family Foundation, and George Hott Memorial Foundation), an endowment fund managed by Your Community Foundation, and in-kind contributions from WVU Hospitals, Monongalia Health System, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, University Health Associates, and West Virginia University (rotating medical professionals, specialty care, and donated medications). Long-established institutional partners provide specialty care at no cost to qualified patients, which is central to the clinic's value proposition. Healthcare services are free to eligible patients; donations are tax-deductible.
