The state of West Virginia is almost entirely rural, which can present many barriers to healthcare, most notably specialized services for people with disabilities.

This Thursday, November 20, we celebrate National Rural Health Day.

Access to healthcare is an area of emphasis here at the CED, which can be challenging in a state as rural as West Virginia. According to United Health Foundation data, 55.2% of WV's population is considered rural, making it the third-most rural state in the country after Maine and Vermont.

Our rugged landscape is beautiful and represents our identities as Mountaineers, but it can also create barriers to healthcare, most notably for those receiving specialized services.

The WV Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) program at the CED provides opportunities for students, family members, self-advocates, and community members to develop leadership skills in the disability field. A goal of WV LEND is to develop leaders committed to improving the lives of people with disabilities in WV, Appalachia, and other rural areas.

Have you checked out the Compassionate Care podcast?

8 episodes available now, tailored for students pursuing careers in pediatric medicine and families that are on a journey with a medically complex child.

This podcast aims to foster empathy, understanding and a holistic approach to pediatric care by highlighting the vital role caregivers play in a child's medical journey. This is not only a podcast series, but an opportunity for future pediatric healthcare professionals to gain a deeper understanding of the emotional aspects of their patients' lives. By listening to the voices of parents, students can better prepare to provide comprehensive care that considers both medical needs and emotional well-being.

1 in 10 babies is born too soon.

Preterm birth—when a baby is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy—is a serious health issue. Babies born too early may face life-threatening complications and have long-term health problems. In honor of World Prematurity Day, we’re raising awareness about this urgent maternal and infant health challenge.

Today, November 17th to honor these babies and their families- lets see your purple!💜
