Thank you to the Rotary Club of Weirton Heights for the warm welcome of our neurologist Dr. Shahvaiz Magsi.

We appreciate the opportunity to connect with our community and share important insights on neurological health. 🧠

This morning we had the insightful pleasure to hear from Dr. Shahvaiz Magsi, Neurologist at WVU Medicine WMC.
Dr Magsi specializes in strokes, migraines, seizures, and dimentia among others. Some of the information learned today included the acronym BEFAST for identifying strokes, different types of headaches and migraines, and the “normal everyday forgetfulness” versus dimentia.
Did you know the human brain only weighs 3.3 pounds?

Happy Hospital Week! 😀

05/11/2026

Join us this month as we recognize Preeclampsia Awareness Month—a dedicated time to raise awareness of this serious, life-threatening hypertensive disorder of pregnancy.

High blood pressure can affect any woman during pregnancy or even in the postpartum period. It remains a leading cause of maternal and infant illness and death worldwide.

We’re committed to educating, empowering, and supporting women to take charge of their pregnancy health.

Know the signs. Trust your instincts. Speak up.

Join us in spreading awareness and helping every mom have a safer, healthier journey.

Nurses Week Fun! 🫧

Today, our “Bubble Cart” made its way through the hospital, delivering locally handmade soaps to our incredible team of nurses.

Who can resist the fresh scents and genuine smiles? 😊

A small token of appreciation for the big difference our nurses make every single day!

We have had the best time celebrating our incredible nurses this week! We are so fortunate to have such a compassionate, dedicated team caring for our patients and community each and every day. Your skill, kindness, and commitment do not go unnoticed—and we are grateful for all that you do.

Thank you for being the heart of our hospital! 🩺

As your community hospital, it is our privilege to play a role in supporting and strengthening the place we all call home.

When we learned local students needed caps and gowns, we didn’t hesitate—we knew we had to step in for our kids.

Our CEO and President David Artman, along with VP of Operations Clayton Henderson and Supply Chain Manager Bob Kolanko, joined Weir High School students and Principal Sean Blumette to help ensure every student can proudly celebrate in their red and black cap and gown.

Let’s go, Riders! ❤️🖤

May the FOURTH be with you! 💫
Yes, we know we’re a day late—but this little guy wasn’t quite ready for his close-up!

Introducing our very own little Jedi… baby Yoda himself!

Born this week, please welcome Levi Wise—the newest and cutest member of the galaxy. Levi is the son of Ernie and Miranda Wise of Chester, WV and we have a feeling the Force is already strong with this one.

Welcome to the world, Levi—we’re so glad you’re here!💚
