Catastrophic Illness Commission

Welcome to the James “Tiger” Morton Catastrophic Illness Commission. The James “Tiger” Morton Catastrophic Illness Commission was created during the 1999 regular session of the West Virginia Legislature. The Commission acts as a last resort for those in dire need of medical assistance once all other resources are exhausted. The Commission, guided by a Governor-appointed board made up of citizens from across the state, is administered through the Office of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Resources.

The Catastrophic Illness Commission is lovingly dedicated to the memory of James “Tiger” Morton who was a

bullet Helper of countless people in dire need of medical and personal assistance;
bullet Respected and informed ombudsman and legislative liaison; 
bullet Compassionate and caring friend.
