WVU Medicine serves Western Pennsylvania through five hospitals:

Building on a Partnership in Care

The relationship between WVU Medicine and Westmoreland Hospital began before the hospitals joined the WVU Health System. In January 2025, Westmoreland Hospital partnered with WVU Medicine Golisano Children’s Hospital to enhance Neonatal Intensive Care Unit services for vulnerable newborns.

Part of WVU Medicine

The West Virginia University Health System is an academic health system serving communities across West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Maryland. With the addition of the five Western Pennsylvania hospitals, the system includes 30 hospitals.

Being part of WVU Medicine connects local, community-based care with the resources of a larger academic health system while supporting continued access to care close to home.
