Two Community Care of West Virginia medical providers were recently featured in The Pocahontas Times. The article focused on Pocahontas County natives returning home to practice medicine.
Following graduation from the WV School of Osteopathic Medicine, Jennifer Rose, DO, began her career with a residency at CAMC in Charleston. After several year at CAMC, Rose moved back to Pocahontas County and divides her time between Community Care Health Centers at Marlinton and Hillsboro. “I’m proud to be here,” Rose said. “It’s not always easy, but it’s been rewarding. When you have patients that you truly feel like you’ve been able to help and bring something to them or change their lives in some ways – that’s rewarding and makes up for some of the other challenges that come with it. I have good people to work with. I have people who are truly here because they care about the people and always want to do more and want to do better, and so that’s rewarding, too.”

Rachel Taylor, a graduate of Alderson-Broaddus University's (then College) physician assistant program, initially planned to work in other places and travel, but eventually came back home as well. She began working with Community Care dividing her time between health centers and school-based health. Currently, Taylor works full-time in school-based health at Pocahontas County schools. “It wasn’t how I thought it would be,” Taylor said. “If you would have asked me when I was a senior in high school what my plans would have been, it would have been a completely different story than what unfolded, but I’m happy that things have turned out the way they have. I believe it’s happened – everything that’s happened – has happened for a reason. I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing. I think so many people want to come back but they may not be able to, so I feel very privileged to be able to be back here and be able to serve my friends and family and neighbors and community. I’m the person I am because of growing up in such a great community.”
Both Rose and Taylor are happy to be "back home" and spend their free time with families and working on family farms.
