West Virginia
According to the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy, the
health care and social assistance industry employs the largest percentage
of the state’s workforce at 12.5 percent. West Virginia’s health care
industry is blessed to have major hubs like Charleston, Huntington
and Morgantown; a variety of sophisticated health care systems like
Mon Health and Thomas Health; a pipeline of talent from the state’s
colleges and universities like the West Virginia University School
of Nursing; and a wealth of community partners. Every day, West
Virginia’s award-winning higher education institutions, health care
organizations and hospitals—such as Logan Regional Medical Center
and Pocahontas Memorial Hospital—are demonstrating innovation,
creativity and skill with elite leadership, promising research, high-
quality programs and specialized care. To celebrate these successes,
West Virginia Executive magazine created Healing West Virginia, a
special showcase highlighting the innovations that characterize the
Mountain State’s health care industry.
