About Us

How do you define WVU Medicine Children’s, a place where lives are changed? Where miracles happen? Where we can help shape the future?

About Us

WVU Medicine Children’s is more than just a hospital. We’re a family of doctors, nurses, and other professionals who share the same goal: to provide the best possible care to any child who needs it.

We chose careers in pediatric health care because we love connecting with (and supporting) kids of all ages. And because many of us are parents, too, we know how important it is to find a medical provider you trust. You want to work with specialists who care about your child’s health and well-being as much as you do.

Learn what sets us apart from other hospitals and why you can count on us when it matters most.

Mission: Building healthier futures for our children.

Vision: Delivering the best possible outcomes for the children who need our care.

A Higher Level of Experience

WVU Medicine Children’s is home to the state’s largest—and most experienced—group of pediatric primary care physicians and specialists. We offer expertise in nearly every childhood condition, no matter how rare or serious. This means your child can get the right diagnosis and the right treatment, right here in West Virginia.

And if your child is ever hospitalized, you can take comfort knowing we’re the only organization in the state named a Magnet® hospital for nursing excellence. Magnet hospitals must prove they follow strict standards of care related to patient safety, quality, and comfort. Only 5% of U.S. hospitals have earned this distinction; it’s the highest honor available for nursing care.

A Culture of Caring

We aim to make WVU Medicine Children’s an exceptional place to work and receive care. By hiring people who love what they do—and supporting their efforts to promote health and healing—we’ve created a positive, welcoming environment for our patients and their families. This includes some of West Virginia’s most vulnerable children and expectant mothers.

When you turn to us for care, you’ll find that:

  • We care big by showing empathy for our team, our patients, and their families.
  • We lift each other up by empowering and supporting every individual voice and role.
  • We build bridges by closely collaborating across departments and disciplines to provide superior care.
  • We walk in each other’s work shoes by having empathy for our fellow co-workers and always having their back,
  • We build trust throughout our organization by being honest, open, and transparent.
  • We do what we love and it shows by promoting a positive environment of caring, inclusion, and happiness.

No matter what brings you to our hospital or clinics, you’ll find an abundance of care and support.
