Dr. Clay Marsh to resume WVU Health Sciences leadership role

At the end of March, West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice named Clay Marsh, MD, the state’s COVID-19/Coronavirus Czar. While Dr. Marsh will continue his work with the state, in June, he will begin to transition back into his position as West Virginia University's vice president and executive dean for Health Sciences. Moving forward, Marsh will continue to provide his insight and guidance as West Virginia slowly reopens and as the University plans for the return of students in the fall.

Jeff Coben, MD, associate vice president for health affairs and dean of the School of Public Health, was tapped to assume the additional responsibilities and duties of managing the oversight of the Health Sciences Center in Marsh's absence. Coben will continue to serve in an instrumental role for the University, providing his public health expertise and leadership regarding a host of COVID-19 initiatives.
