Milan Puskar Health Right

Milan Puskar Health Right (Health Right) is a free clinic that provides health and dental care to the uninsured and underinsured at no cost in the city of Morgantown, and Marion, Monongalia, Taylor and Preston counties in West Virginia. Founded in 1984, it accommodates nearly 4,000 patients and 22,000 patient visits annually.

Milan Puskar Health Right, originally Morgantown Health Right, was founded in 1984 on the premise, "Every person has a right to health care regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay." For its first few months Health Right operated out of a Baptist church until a retiring physician offered his Spruce Street office rent-free. With its first capital campaign, Health Right purchased a small building with three examination rooms at 154 Pleasant Street, which it outgrew within months. The clinic moved to its current location in May 2003. It was renamed in 2004 to honor Milan Puskar a businessman and philanthropist who generously supported the clinic since its inception. In 2008 the clinic went paperless adopting the HEALTHeWV electronic medical records system. The Marg M. Carney award for excellence in volunteerism was established by the clinic in 2013. The inaugural recipient was Bill McCutcheon, a dentist.

Milan Puskar Health Right is located at 341 Spruce Street in Morgantown, West Virginia, and has satellite clinics in Marion and Preston counties. Health Right provides health care, dental care, medications, case management, mental health, and social services. Nearly 4,000 patients make over 22,000 visits to Health Right a year. The clinic dispenses and fills about 62,000 prescriptions each year. Health Right's main clinic is open over 400 hours a month.
