'The why is easy to find here': State media outlet covers Bill Black's experience in the military, at WVU Medicine

WVNews recently published a feature on Bill Back,ssistant vice president of WVU Medicine’s Critical Care and Trauma Institute and Emergency and Safety Management, entitled: "'The why is easy to find here': Retired U.S. Army Col. Bill Black perfect fit for WVU Medicine's emergency and safety management, COVID-19 response.'"

WVNews: "You might say retired U.S. Army Col. Bill Black has a knack of being in the right place at the right time. Or at least knows how to chart a path to get there.

"That may sound odd to say about a person who began his military career jumping out of airplanes, has served in Saudi Arabia and Iraq in support of Operation Desert Storm and Shield, in Bosnia during the height of that conflict, walked the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea and served two different tours in Afghanistan.

"Black, who now serves as assistant vice president of WVU Medicine’s Critical Care and Trauma Institute, Emergency and Safety Management, is no stranger to being thrust into dangerous situations and then stepping up to major challenges, like the one WVU Medicine and all healthcare providers faced in March of 2020, when the COVID-19 virus began to unleash its silent but deadly fury on the Mountain State."
