Please join us in welcoming our new medical provider at RRHC Ritchie County School-Based Campus: Lucas Henger, PA!

After graduating from Marshall University with his Bachelor of Arts in Adult Fitness and obtaining his Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Marietta College, Lucas is a board-certified physician assistant with over a decade and a half of experience in emergency and urgent care, practicing in and around Huntington, WV.

Ritchie County native, Lucas, is coming home to join the Ritchie Regional Health Center team. He graduated from Ritchie County High School in 2001. At RCHS, he was a member of the track, football, and quiz bowl teams. His wife, Patti, is from Blacksburg, VA, and the couple are excited to bring their two daughters back to Ritchie County to be brought up in the same community that raised Lucas.

“We are thrilled to be able to be so close to family and reconnect with friends. I feel very fortunate to be able to care for members of my hometown that cared for me during my formative years. I hope my family finally gets to see why, even after being away so long, I never stopped calling Ritchie County home.”

Lucas is currently accepting new patients at RRHC Ritchie County Middle School/High School Wellness Center, providing acute and chronic care services to individuals of all ages. To make an appointment, call 304-869-3650.

As a reminder, Ritchie Regional accepts most insurances including Medicaid and Medicare. The Sliding Fee Program - based on family size and income - is also available to uninsured or underinsured patients. For more information, visit ritchieregional.org or call/text 304-643-4005.

We wish everyone a Happy New Year! May you have a wonderful New Year ahead 🥳

Merry Christmas from all of us at Ritchie Regional Health Center!

To vote, simply mention the number of your favorite door in the comments. Check out the individual pictures for a better look. Feel free to share this post but in order for your vote to count, you must comment on the original post on the Ritchie Regional Health Center page.

Thanks in advance for joining in on the fun! Merry Christmas🎄🎁

RRHC has opened our sixth - our second in Ritchie County, WV - school-based wellness center at Smithville Elementary School! In addition to providing a full range of primary care services to students (with parental consent), teachers, and staff, the clinic will be open to the community.

Ritchie Regional’s CEO, Amy Yokum, stated, “We are grateful for the opportunity to continue to serve Ritchie County at a new location and be able to offer affordable, compassionate, excellent care to the Smithville community. We’d like to once again thank the Ritchie County Board of Education as well as Smithville Elementary teachers, students, and staff, for all their support and assistance with establishing the Wellness Center.”

Initially, the campus will be open on Mondays and Thursdays 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m., but depending on the number of patients, they may extend their hours. Cristy Palmer, APRN, will be the primary medical provider. Behavioral health services will also be available via telehealth.

We accept most insurances, including Medicaid and Medicare. Because RRHC is federally funded, we can offer the Sliding Fee Program to uninsured or underinsured patients. The Program provides discounted services based on family size and income. ​

Appointments can be made by calling/texting 304-643-4005, although the clinic technically won’t see its first patient until Thursday, January 5, 2023.

This time of year is merry and bright for many of us, but for others, it’s a time of overwhelming sadness and stress.

Maybe you lost someone or money is too tight to buy gifts. Perhaps you’re a parent that is exhausted yet feels like you haven’t done enough fun holiday activities with your child. Maybe you’re lonely. Or maybe you just wish Christmas would be over already because Christmas music has been blaring at the stores since October.

Whatever your source of depression or frustration may be this holiday season, please know, you’re not alone, and we totally get it.

If you need to talk, our professional therapists are here to listen. Don’t bottle it up. Don’t let sadness or stress consume you. Reach out to us and schedule an appointment as soon as possible. Just call or text 304-643-4005.

🇺🇸 Honoring all who have served ❤️🤍💙

🩻 National Radiologic Technology Week (NRTW) is meant to celebrate the vital work of medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals in patient care and healthcare safety. The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) NRTW theme this year is "Aiming to Heal." The week-long celebration -- running from November 6 to 12 -- takes place during the week of November 8 to commemorate the discovery of the x-ray by Wilhelm Roentgen on November 8, 1895.

🩻 During this week, RRHC would like to take the opportunity to recognize our radiologic technologist, Jill Williams, and the essential service she provides. For the past 18 years, Jill has taken hundreds of x-rays at RRHC Harrisville Campus. With the recent equipment upgrade, she can do so with less radiation and clearer imaging.

🩻 Jill, thank you for your invaluable contribution to our practice! RRHC is beyond fortunate to have you as a part of our team! Happy National Radiologic Technology Week!

🧥🧤🧣Ritchie Regional is proud to once again support Lite Rock 93R & The Classic Rock Station WXCR’s promotion, Coats for Kids. 🧣🧤🧥

We are asking you to join us in this worthy cause by donating new or used coats, gloves, scarves, etc. to any of the following RRHC locations: Harrisville Campus, West Union Campus, or Doddridge Wellness Center.

All donations are greatly appreciated, and any used items will be cleaned. Coats for Kids will conclude on December 31.
