Red Wave
The year is 2000. Texas’ republican Governor George W. Bush was just elected president by a narrow margin defeating democrat incumbent Vice President Al Gore of Tennessee.

2023 West Virginia Executive Health Care Hall of Fame
The success of the Mountain State depends on the health and well-being of its people. Healthy people mean productive workplaces, flourishing communities and a higher quality of life for individuals. A dedicated health care industry is necessary to achieve this, and West Virginia is fortunate to have many industry professionals devoted to caring for West Virginians’ health.
Workforce Shortage Solutions
The health care industry is currently facing a severe workforce shortage. Coupled with the increased challenges of inflation, hospital closures in rural areas and increased pressure and burnout among workers, the shortage is causing industry leaders, health care educators and the business community to look for ways to fill the gap.
Hurdles to Health
Access to high-quality health care is an essential element in fostering healthy and prosperous communities and families. Moreover, the capacity of a health care system can make or break the growth and development of a given state. In reality, no one wants to move to, raise a family or start a business in an area without access to quality health care.
Changing the Narrative
It is no secret West Virginia consistently finds itself listed as one of the least healthy states. In a world where Band-Aids cover up deeply rooted health issues instead of looking to the source for healing, true wellness can be difficult to achieve. However, this story can be rewritten, and many organizations throughout the state have dedicated themselves to improving the health and well-being of West Virginia’s people.
