SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION MON HEALTH Nationally Recognized, Locally Trusted From its roots in the Morgantown living room of female hospital volunteers nearly 100 years ago, Mon Health has grown into the premier health care partner of choice for families in North Central West Virginia. This system of care extends regionally through three hospitals, physician offices that bring care closer to home in a half dozen communities, senior living, emergency medical services and retail locations for easy access to equipment and supplies. Mon Health is nationally recognized and locally trusted, with a current overall quality and safety grade of A from independent third-party evaluators like the Leapfrog Group—the highest in North Central West Virginia—and recognition of excellence from groups like Healthgrades and the American Heart Association. “Mon Health is a not-for-profit health care system with deep roots and investment in its community,” says David Goldberg, who was named president and CEO of the system in the fall of 2018. Goldberg is a proud Mountaineer graduate with deep national experience as an executive health care leader. Like most hospital systems across the nation, Mon Health is adapting to a rapidly changing and disruptive business environment. Goldberg believes successful hospitals of the future will see these types of challenges as opportunities. “Independence and sustainability are keys to the future,” he says. “We are the health care experience of choice for most people in North Central West Virginia. At Mon Health, we don’t just practice medicine, we treat people like family. You can feel the difference in the way we work because we put the patient at the center of our work.” Mon Health recently revised its values statement to better reflect the true spirit and dedication of its team and the preferred place it has earned in its community: I CARE stands for integrity, commitment, accountability, respect and excellence. “We did not just engage in an exercise of clever word play so we could spell out I CARE,” says Goldberg. “We thought long and hard about it and declared that this is who we really are. It is who we have always been. It is who we will be in the future.” 1200 JD Anderson Dr., Morgantown, WV 26505 (304) 598-1200
