Held February 11–13 in Charleston, the conference brought healthcare leaders together for policy discussions, advocacy training, and engagement with state legislators at the West Virginia State Capitol.

During the “Conversations with Leadership” panel, Miller shared insights from her experience leading a rural hospital and discussed the evolving challenges facing healthcare executives, including workforce shortages, financial sustainability, and regulatory complexity. She emphasized the importance of strong organizational culture, transparent communication, and community-centered care.

The conference also featured legislative simulations, Capitol visits, and Hospital Advocacy Day activities — reinforcing the critical role healthcare leaders play in shaping public policy.

Miller’s participation highlighted WVU Medicine’s continued commitment to advocacy, collaboration, and improving health outcomes across West Virginia.

💕 Jackson General Sweethearts Out on the Town! 💕

Our Jackson General Sweethearts had such a wonderful time attending Be Mine By the Lake, showing their support for the City of Ripley and the Ripley 4th of July celebration.

It was a beautiful evening filled with laughter, friendship, and community spirit. We are so proud to be part of a community that comes together to support events that bring so much joy and tradition to our city.

Supporting Ripley is at the heart of what we do — both inside and outside the hospital — and we loved spending the evening celebrating with so many familiar faces.
