West Virginia faces some of the most significant public health challenges in the United States. The state has the highest rates of drug overdose deaths, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity in the nation, while simultaneously grappling with a declining and aging population. Despite these challenges, West Virginia has invested significantly in its healthcare infrastructure. WVU Medicine (West Virginia University Health System), headquartered in Morgantown, is the state's academic medical center and largest health system, operating J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital — a Level I Trauma Center — along with 20+ hospitals and facilities statewide.
Charleston is served by Charleston Area Medical Center (CAMC), the largest hospital in the state by bed count, and Thomas Health. Huntington, one of the epicenters of the opioid crisis, is home to Cabell Huntington Hospital and the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine.
West Virginia expanded Medicaid in 2014, and the program now covers approximately 700,000 residents — roughly 40% of the state's population, one of the highest enrollment rates in the nation. The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) (dhhr.wv.gov) administers Medicaid. The West Virginia Board of Medicine (wvbom.wv.gov) handles physician licensing.
