About Us
A mission of care in everything we do.
As a land-grant institution, improving the wellness of West Virginians through education, basic and clinical scientific research, and excellent care with a focus on rural health are our top priorities. It’s why our students participate in rural rotations. It’s why our physicians serve our community members. It’s why our technologies and treatments are state-of-the-art.
Academic Medical Center
WVU Medicine offers access to excellent patient care through 25 hospitals across the state and region. Consistently ranked as a top academic medical center, WVU Medicine offers a unique collaborative space for our students to learn alongside faculty physicians and health care professionals, delivering life-changing patient outcomes.
We believe the role of a great academic medical center is to solve real problems and improve the health of our citizens. Across all of WVU — not just at the Health Sciences campuses — that duty is woven throughout our educational, research and community service activities.
