Ambulatory Operations
Division Mission
The Department's Ambulatory Services Division brings quality medical care to both the community and WVU’s student population at multiple locations. We provide primary care and acute care services to our students at our Student Health Services location, conveniently located on the Evansdale campus. We also evaluate acute illness and injuries at our Suncrest and Fairmont Urgent Care locations with a physician always on site. We offer e-visits and video visits through MyChart. We also have on-site x-ray, point of care testing, and laboratory testing in all clinical locations.
Student Health
We provide excellent, up-to-date care to the WVU student population. We serve as their main location of care during their time as a student, as their primary care providers on campus. We are their go-to facility for routine preventative care, education, counseling, and any acute needs. Understanding that the students’ experience with us will likely be their first attempt of seeking medical care without their parents, we strive to be welcoming and compassionate while guiding the student through their treatment plan.
Urgent Care
Urgent Care fills the need of medical community to provide non-emergent acute care without overloading our Emergency Departments and inundating Primary Care offices. Our team understands people’s busy schedules and the difficulty of trying to get same-day care for acute conditions and provide readily accessible care, with close ties to Primary Care providers and the Emergency Department to maintain continuity of communication.
Educational Opportunities
The Division of Ambulatory Operations offers robust bedside educational experiences for WVU and visiting medical and advanced practice provider students at the Suncrest Urgent Care site, as well as more advanced educational experiences for Family Medicine residents at both the Suncrest Urgent Care and Fairmont Gateway Urgent Care locations.
