Welcome our first babies of 2026!

We are excited to introduce baby girl Amaria, the first baby born at WVU Medicine Weirton Medical Center in 2026. Amaria arrived this morning (1/2/26) at 12:56 a.m. She is the daughter of Kaylee Yeater and Bryan Barr of Follansbee.

Just half an hour later, we welcomed our second baby of the new year—Eli. Eli was born at WVU Medicine Weirton Medical Center and is the son of Jeremy and Madison Whitney of Bloomingdale, Ohio.

Congratulations to both families on their beautiful new arrivals!

Celebrating the season is extra special this year at WVU Medicine Weirton Medical Center! 🎄

Our holiday festivities kicked off with a wonderful holiday luncheon on Friday—complete with our beloved Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Vardhan Reddy, serving up Christmas lunch. The celebration continued Monday with sweet treats as we shared cookies and cocoa with the entire WVU Medicine Weirton Medical Center family.

Thank you to the incredible people who make such a meaningful difference in the lives of so many—today and every day.. ❤️

KEEP IT SAFE!
Here are some tips to help ensure your baby's safety and comfort while traveling:

Plan Ahead: Always follow the ABCs of infant safe sleep and avoid improvised sleep spaces. Use a firm, flat surface like a portable crib or bassinet for safe sleep.
Manage Crying: Be prepared for your baby to cry more than usual during the holidays. This phase is normal and not a sign of poor sleep.
Use Sunlight: Spend much of your baby's awake time exposed to daylight to help reset melatonin production.
Stick to the Same Setup: Maintain the same sleep environment and routine as you do at home to help your baby feel safe and relaxed.
Adjust for Time Zones: If traveling across time zones, shift your baby's sleep schedule by 15–30 minutes per day leading up to the trip.
By following these tips, you can help ensure your baby's safety and comfort while traveling during the holidays. Remember, even a few missed naps or late bedtimes won't undo all your progress, as babies bounce back faster than we think.

WOW! What an incredible day!
Our WVU Medicine Weirton Medical Center team spent the day delivering food donated entirely by our amazing staff to four local food pantries — and the impact was felt everywhere we went.

Together, our employees collected nearly 2,500 non-perishable food items, which were delivered to:

The Chester-Newell Fish Foundation (Jean Chaney)

The Newell Community Improvement Coalition (Bev Enochs)

New Cumberland Food Closet (Barb Bowersox)

Weirton Salvation Army (Major Tonya Roberts)

We are incredibly proud of our team’s generosity and their commitment to supporting our communities. Days like today remind us what it means to truly care for our neighbors.
