Meet Andy Wagoner, FNP-C

When asked why he went into healthcare, Andy shared an inspiring story: About 11 years ago, he began helping care for an individual living with Parkinson’s disease. The act of kindness turned into something life-changing. Andy eventually moved in and cared for this person for five years. At the time, he was studying IT, but that experience made him realize how much he loved caring for others. He decided to change paths and pursue nursing—a career where he could truly make a difference.

Now, with over 13 years in healthcare, Andy enjoys getting to know his patients on a personal level and making sure they always feel like more than just a number. He has a special interest in public health, primary care, and promoting longevity in the male population.

Outside of work, Andy has a pretty impressive LEGO collection, is currently learning to play the drums, and loves outdoor adventures - from hiking and kayaking to rock climbing and even skydiving!

And when asked what he might do if he weren’t in healthcare? Andy said he’d love to work in special effects — creativity clearly runs in his blood.

His favorite advice for patients? 🩵 “Take care of yourself — you can’t pour from an empty cup.”

We’re so excited to welcome Andy to the MVA Health Centers team!

Appointments with Andy will begin on November 17, and we can’t wait for you to meet him.

Get to Know Your Provider: Pam Pritchard, MSN, CWON, AGACNP-BC

At MVA Health, we believe that building a connection with your provider is one of the most important parts of great care — and Pam truly embodies that. Here’s a closer look at what inspires her and what she values most in her work.

1️⃣ What inspired you to go into healthcare?
“I’ve always wanted to help people. I started as a CNA in a nursing home when I was in high school, and I loved being there for those who had no one else.”

2️⃣ What do you enjoy most about working at MVA Health?
“Everyone is friendly, and I’m allowed the time to really listen and provide good care. I also appreciate how supportive MVA is of their staff and how the organization always puts the community first.”

3️⃣ What’s your approach to patient care?
“It’s so important to listen. Empathy and compassion are #1 in patient care — everyone deserves the best care, no matter their insurance. That’s why I’m proud that MVA offers a Sliding Scale Program to make quality care accessible to everyone.”

4️⃣ What’s one piece of health advice you give most often?
“You have to take care of yourself first. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health — and you should never be afraid to talk to your provider about stress or how you’re feeling.”

5️⃣ What’s something your patients might not know about you?
“I once sang on stage in Nashville! I’ve always loved theatre and performing arts, and I still enjoy volunteering with youth music programs whenever I can.”

6️⃣ If you weren’t in healthcare, what career would you choose?
“I once dreamed of being a famous singer or performer, but honestly, I couldn’t see myself anywhere else. Taking care of my community feels like where I’m meant to be.”

Pam believes in treating everyone without judgment — “you don’t know what other people have been through” — and she’s grateful to be making a difference here at MVA Health.

💙 “At the end of the day, I just hope to be the reason someone smiles.” – Pam Pritchard

Dear Patient:

As of October 1, 2025, the U.S Congress has not expanded the flexibilities for Telehealth services.

This means MVA Health Center will no longer be reimbursed for Telehealth services to be performed from your home to our facility. The only exception is Behavioral Health/Mental Health treatments.
However, MVA can still perform Telehealth services from Facility to Facility. If you are a patient at our Mannington or Shinnston locations and need acute care treatment, such as colds, coughs, flu symptoms, etc., when the provider may be out, but the office is still
open, you can call or walk in to be scheduled for a Telehealth visit with one of our Fairmont location providers. A patient must be physically present at one of these locations, with the provider being physically present at another. All other routine check-ups, physicals, or medication refills will still need to be scheduled.

As with any service, please contact your insurance carrier to make sure Telehealth services are still a covered option.
Please feel free to call our office with any questions.
