A mission of care in everything we do.
As a land-grant institution, the wellness of West Virginians is one of 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.
Everything we do here ripples through the state. That’s why we’re also renewing our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. No matter who you are or where you’re from, you’re welcome here — and we’re here for you.
In each of its schools, Health Sciences has implemented Diversity and Inclusion teams, comprised of administrators, faculty, staff and students, to help navigate the ideas of “diversity and inclusion” and all their complexities. We want to be better.
Constantly improving our community — both in terms of wellness, and diversity, equity and inclusion — will be a challenge, but we’re Mountaineers. And we live for a challenge.
It’s time to come together and boldly pursue change for the good of all.
WVU Medicine offers 1,641 licensed beds across 10 hospitals. Consistently ranked as a top academic medical center, WVU Medicine offers a unique collaborative space for our faculty, staff and students to learn with real patients and 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.
