WVU Medicine Children's

What WVU Medicine Children's does

WVU Medicine Golisano Children's Hospital is a non-profit academic children's hospital and the only dedicated comprehensive pediatric facility in West Virginia, operating from its main campus at 1 Medical Center Drive in Morgantown. It serves children, adolescents, and expectant mothers across West Virginia and the surrounding region, with patient reach extended through provider-based specialty and primary care clinics in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Maryland that operate under the parent West Virginia University Health System. The hospital is organized around five Centers of Excellence—Birthing Center, Heart Center, Blood Disorders & Cancer Center, Neuroscience Center, and Critical Care and Trauma Center—and operates dedicated pediatric units including the NICU, PICU, CICU, Epilepsy Monitoring Unit, Infusion Center, and Pediatric Acute Care Unit. It is integrated with the WVU School of Medicine for research and academic training, holds five consecutive years of U.S. News & World Report recognition as the top children's hospital in West Virginia, and is NCQA-recognized for Patient-Centered Medical Home standards.

The hospital's service architecture is clinical rather than technology-platform based: revenue is generated through provision of inpatient, outpatient, emergency, and maternal-fetal medicine services, billed under a provider-based designation as hospital outpatient services. Core technology consists of specialized pediatric clinical units, equipment, and protocols—not proprietary software platforms—and the patient-facing technology surface is limited to the MyWVUChart portal for scheduling, records access, and provider communication. Distribution operates through the main 24-hour hospital in Morgantown and a network of provider-based clinics across four states, with patient acquisition driven by physician referrals, emergency access, and the broader WVU Health System network. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; standard charges are published in machine-readable format under CMS Price Transparency Final Rule compliance, with actual pricing varying by patient, treatment, and insurance coverage.
