WVU Medicine

WVU Medicine is using virtual care to connect patients in rural West Virginia with medical specialists without requiring long trips to larger hospitals. The program allows people in communities like Buckhannon to consult specialists closer to home, improving access to care in areas where specialist coverage is limited. Local coverage highlights it as part of broader efforts to close rural healthcare gaps.

A community collaboration is underway with WVU Medicine Golisano Children's Hospital to develop a new outpatient center. The project, reported by local press, brings together area stakeholders and the children's hospital network to expand pediatric outpatient services. Details on the center's location, services and timeline have not yet been released.
