This morning, we were proud to stand beside Mayor Rader as we waved the American flag together.

As her term as Mayor of Ripley comes to a close, there is an overwhelming sense of sadness knowing that such a dedicated leader is stepping away from this role. Mayor Rader has been one of the greatest supporters of WVU Medicine Jackson General Hospital, not only as mayor, but also as a valued member of our hospital board.

Her unwavering support for our hospital, our employees, and our community has meant more than words can express. Mayor Rader’s leadership, kindness, and commitment to Ripley are truly irreplaceable.

From all of us at Jackson General Hospital, thank you, Mayor Rader, for always believing in us and standing beside us. ❤️🇺🇸

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming students from the “Discover Your Future” Career and Technical Education (CTE) class for a behind-the-scenes tour at WVU Medicine Jackson General Hospital.

This unique course focuses on helping students explore careers in health sciences through the five healthcare career clusters:
• Biotechnology Research and Development
• Diagnostic Services
• Health Informatics
• Support Services
• Therapeutic Services

During their visit, students had the opportunity to tour our hospital, meet members of our team, and learn more about the many career paths available in healthcare — including the education and training required for each role.

We are always proud to support students as they explore their futures and discover the many ways they can make a difference in healthcare. Thank you for visiting us, and we look forward to seeing where your future takes you!

One of the sweetest thank you notes ever. ❤️

We were so honored to sponsor the Evans Elementary Spring Fun Day, and today we received this giant poster made by the students. Moments like this remind us why community partnerships matter so much.

Thank you to the students and staff at Evans Elementary for the thoughtful surprise. It absolutely made our day! ☀️

We have enjoyed Hospital Week so much so far at WVU Medicine Jackson General Hospital.

Our Lip Sync Challenge Day was one big day of fun activities, including a cookout, free T-shirt giveaway, and an employee lip sync competition that had everyone laughing and cheering each other on. Employees entertained the crowd with performances of “Simply Irresistible,” “You Don’t Own Me,” “Ice Ice Baby,” and even an SNL-inspired Maharelle Sisters skit.

Employees voted for their favorite performances with $1 donations, and we are proud to share that together we raised $588.

Congratulations to our winning team, the First Wives Club, featuring Terri Ohrn, Kelly Nybert, and Ashley Parsons. The team chose for the proceeds to benefit Sleep in Heavenly Peace of Jackson County, and we were honored to meet with Steve Westfall, who also happens to be one of our hospital board members, to present the donation in support of this wonderful cause.

Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, cheered on their coworkers, and helped make Hospital Week so special. Most of all, thank you to all of our employees for making our hospital such a wonderful place to work and serve our community.

We hope all hospitals everywhere are having an amazing Hospital Week.
