The five hospitals of Independence Health System – Butler Memorial, Clarion, Frick, Latrobe, and Westmoreland – are now proudly part of WVU Medicine. These hospitals will benefit from the scale and expertise of a leading academic health system while maintaining their strong community focus. Additionally, we will invest $800 million in these hospitals over the next five years to expand their clinical programs and provide greater and more convenient access to specialty care to the communities they serve. Our purpose has always been simple: to make life better everywhere our neighbors call home, because home is worth staying close to.

At WVU Medicine, we’re here to bring better to life.
