What Robert C. Byrd Clinic does

Robert C. Byrd Clinic, operating as WVSOM Health, is a nonprofit Rural Health Clinic founded in 1976 and headquartered on the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine campus in Lewisburg, West Virginia. The clinic delivers comprehensive primary care and specialty services across two brick-and-mortar sites (Lewisburg, Rupert) and a mobile clinic that extends care into Greenbrier, Pocahontas, and Summers Counties. Its service portfolio spans family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, geriatrics, women's health, behavioral health, osteopathic neuromusculoskeletal medicine (ONMM), radiology (digital X-ray, ultrasound, DEXA), lab services, diabetes education, asthma care, Medicare annual wellness exams, and addiction medicine through the S.H.I.N.E. Recovery Services program. It also operates ACGME-accredited Family Medicine and ONMM residency programs in collaboration with CAMC Greenbrier Valley Medical Center.

The clinic's underlying technology stack is conventional healthcare IT rather than technology-differentiated: it uses athenahealth for electronic health records and the patient portal, a secure PACS system for imaging, and digital X-ray, ultrasound, and DEXA imaging modalities. Lab services are delivered through MAKO Medical Laboratories as a national reference partner. CHESS Health's Connections App is integrated into the S.H.I.N.E. recovery program for patient engagement.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service patient care billed to Medicare, Medicare Advantage, WV and VA Medicaid, Medicaid HMOs, and major commercial plans, supplemented by a sliding fee discount program for uninsured and underinsured patients based on Federal Poverty Level guidelines. The clinic additionally benefits from residency-program funding streams and is accredited as an NCQA Level 3 Patient-Centered Medical Home, a designation maintained for more than a decade. There are no venture capital, private equity, or public ownership stakes; the clinic operates under the governance and academic oversight of WVSOM.
