Department of Medicine :
Division of Hospital Medicine

The Division of Hospital Medicine is the largest division in the WVU Department of Medicine. We have a wide range of specialty teams including 13-day teams and 4-night teams.

We provide care for patients at 5 locations including J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital, WVU Medicine Fairmont Medical Center, Communicare Morgantown, Communicare Kingwood, and Encompass Acute Rehab. The division was born in 2016 and has been nearly doubling in size since the start of the program. Our LPNS, MAs, and RN Transitions Coordinator serve as an important part of the division which bridges the gap between patients' discharge from the hospital to post-admission visits with their primary care providers. The division has faculty who specialize in areas such as teaching, geriatric trauma,  command center triage, medical informatics, infectious disease, and general medicine.

Members of the Division provide a variety of specific services, including:

• Comprehensive care admission to discharge.
• Coordinate post-acute care with patients' primary care providers and region-wide post-acute care facilities.
• Preoperative assessments.
• Routine care of both common and diverse medical illnesses.
• Inpatient medical consultation for surgical, cardiovascular, and neurology patients as well as all other inpatient service lines.
