A big thank you to Big Red for inviting us into the classroom to meet with students preparing for future careers in healthcare!

Our Nurse Practitioner, April Vella-Powell, shared her career path, experiences and advice with students interested in pursuing careers in the medical field.

Kelli McCoy of our Communications and Marketing Department also talked with students about the many career opportunities available in healthcare that aren’t clinical—including marketing, communications, finance, human resources and many more.

Thank you to Lisa Biasi for the invitation and for giving us the opportunity to connect with the next generation of healthcare professionals. We loved spending time with these future leaders!

August is National Breastfeeding Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the many benefits of breastfeeding for babies and mothers.

Breastfeeding gives babies the nutrition they need for a healthy start while supporting their growing immune systems. It also provides important health benefits for mothers.

At WVU Medicine Weirton Medical Center, we're here to support families every step of the way with education, guidance, and compassionate care.

Our breastfeeding basics classes are free for moms-to-be delivering with us.

What a fantastic day to connect with our community! 💗

Our team had a wonderful time meeting so many amazing people at today's TruCare Community Health Fair in Follansbee, sharing important information about breast self-exams, our comprehensive BreastCare Program, Low-Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening, and our NEW Bariatric Surgery Program.

Events like these are a great reminder that prevention, early detection, and access to expert care can make all the difference. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth—we loved answering your questions and helping you learn more about the services available right here at WVU Medicine Weirton Medical Center.

We look forward to seeing you at our next community event!
