BORN AND RAISED in Jefferson County, WV, in the small town
of Middleway, Teresa McCabe, vice president of marketing and
development for WVU Medicine University Healthcare, once
dreamed of leaving the Eastern Panhandle for big-city life as
a journalist for a newspaper or major television network. Life
had different plans for this dreamer, though.
McCabe’s career began just after she earned her undergraduate
degree at Shepherd University. She was hired as an admissions
counselor for the college, traveling throughout West Virginia and

the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area to recruit high school stu-
dents and arrange and conduct campus tours. “I traveled most
days of the week, so I got very comfortable traveling alone,” she
says of the job. “To this day, I still enjoy exploring new places.”
This adventurer eventually made the leap into health care
marketing, serving as the director of public relations for Jef-
ferson Memorial Hospital and director of marketing and de-
velopment at City Hospital before joining WVU Medicine Uni-
versity Healthcare.
