Because of Senator Byrd's work, thousands of new jobs have been created. In each region of West Virginia, new industries are taking root. Biometrics. Aerospace research. Composite work. Computer research. Defense innovations. Always standing firm for West Virginia's core industries like coal, steel, chemicals, and manufacturing, Senator Byrd is working to bring new opportunities and new jobs to the Mountain State.
But his work doesn't stop with new industry. Thousands of West Virginians now have access to a doctor's care because of Senator Byrd. Whether through the Byrd Center for Rural Health at Marshall University, or the expanded West Virginia School for Osteopathic Medicine in Lewisburg, or the Byrd Health Sciences Center at West Virginia University, Senator Byrd is constantly working to bring doctors closer to their patients, and to make sure that West Virginians do not have to drive out of state to receive specialized treatment.
