Mace will be responsible for overseeing the expansion, operation and management of the CRCH. The mission of the CRCH is to improve healthcare, lifestyle and chronic disease management among individuals, families and communities throughout rural West Virginia through research and outreach programs focused on social, environmental and behavioral change.

Mace received the 2016 Award for Excellence in Rural Health at the 24th annual West Virginia Rural Health Association conference in October. She was recognized for exceptional, meritorious contributions to the improvement of health to the people in rural West Virginia. The award honors creative work of particular effectiveness in applying knowledge or innovative organization to the betterment of community health.
“I am excited to become a part of the WVSOM team. I look forward to working with communities around our state to positively impact the health of the people we serve,” Mace said.
