Wheeling Hospital

A Tradition of Excellence. A Legacy of Caring. Wheeling Hospital, founded in 1850, has served patients longer than any other hospital in West Virginia.

Today, it is a 223-bed acute care facility with a medical staff of nearly 300 primary care and specialty physicians. Now known as WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital, it provides a wide array of primary and tertiary care services. In addition to the hospital, the complex includes the Continuous Care Center and the Howard Long Wellness Center. Connected to the hospital are four medical office buildings. In addition, Tower 5 features a state-of-the-art Emergency/Trauma Center, Center for Pediatrics, Intensive Care Units, physician offices and private patient rooms. In downtown Wheeling, the Wheeling Clinic, a division of the hospital, houses additional physician offices and Visiting Nurses Services. Also downtown is the Urgent Care clinic in the Stone Center on Market Plaza. Along with a wide range of services, Wheeling Hospital also boasts a diverse medical staff which includes the specialties of: audiology, podiatry, urology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, cardiology, hematology, oncology, gynecology, pain management, nephrology, family medicine, and general primary care services. Health centers affiliated with Wheeling Hospital include: Bellaire, Colerain, Martins Ferry, Powhatan, Scio, Shadyside, and St. Clairsville. Physicians also see patients at Wellsburg Clinic, St. Clairsville Plaza and at East Cove Avenue in Elm Grove. The hospital’s newest addition is the Ambulatory Surgery Center in Bridgeport, OH. The ASC offers a more convenient experience for patients receiving outpatient procedures such as gastroenterology, plastic surgery, cataract surgery, podiatry, gynecologic surgery, orthopedic surgery and other general surgeries. Wheeling Hospital previously was owned by the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston. On March 31, 2021, it became a full member of the West Virginia University Health System (WVUHS) under a Letter of Intent between the Diocese and the West Virginia University Health System (WVUHS). The agreement ensures Wheeling Hospital will maintain its Catholic identity. As a full member of the health system, Wheeling Hospital is part of a broad, integrated network of doctors, hospitals, clinics, and specialized institutes across West Virginia, Southwestern Pennsylvania, Western Maryland, and Ohio. Today, the WVU Health System, which operates under the brand “WVU Medicine,” has more than 20,000 employees; 2,815 providers; 22 member, managed, and affiliate hospitals; and more than 2.5 million patient visits annually.

This past weekend, the WVU Medicine Critical Care and Trauma Institute, in collaboration with HealthNet Aeromedical Services, delivered four Airway Boot Camp sessions across the north region. Over the course of three days, healthcare professionals from EMS and hospital settings participated in immersive, hands‑on training designed to strengthen familiarity, confidence, and proficiency in both basic and advanced airway management.

The sessions focused on real‑world airway challenges, evidence‑based best practices, and critical care and trauma scenarios, all supported by state‑of‑the‑art simulation mannequins. More than 135 healthcare providers took part in this high‑impact educational experience occurring in St. Clairsville, Ohio; Wheeling, WV; Moundsville, WV; and Wintersville, Ohio.

A heartfelt thank‑you goes to the north region Critical Care and Trauma Institute leadership team, their committee, as well as to HealthNet, for their exceptional effort in organizing and delivering such a high‑quality program. Their commitment to advancing clinical excellence continues to enhance patient care throughout the region.

We’re proud to announce the expansion of our ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) program at Wheeling Hospital with the addition of gynecological surgery—our fifth ERAS specialty to date. This expansion builds on the success of existing ERAS pathways for colorectal, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, thoracic, and fragility fracture procedures.
ERAS is a patient-centered, evidence-based approach that helps reduce surgical stress, support faster recovery, and improve overall outcomes. Research has shown ERAS pathways can lead to shorter hospital and recovery stays, fewer complications and readmissions, improved patient satisfaction, and reduced reliance on postoperative opioids.
This gynecological ERAS expansion—including major procedures such as C-sections—was initiated January 6, 2026, through the leadership of Dr. Annie Roslonski, with support from ERAS Champions Robert Simons, Pharmacy Director, and Dr. A. Scott Marshall, Department of Anesthesia.
This work is powered by a dedicated multidisciplinary team coordinated by Kathy Shumate, bringing together experts from surgery, anesthesia, nursing, pharmacy, clinical nutrition, therapy services, care management, education, quality, IT, marketing, and administration. Together, the team continues to develop patient education tools, clinical pathways, and outcome dashboards to track success and drive continuous improvement.
We’re grateful to this collaborative team—and to Dr. Caitlin Kowcheck—for advancing ERAS care at Wheeling Hospital and leading efforts to expand this program to Reynolds Memorial Hospital. Their teamwork reflects our shared commitment to safer surgeries, stronger recoveries, and better experiences for the patients we serve.
