About WVU Children’s Hospital

West Virginia University Children’s Hospital is a hospital within a hospital located on the 6th floor of Ruby Memorial. It is a state-of-the-art 107-bed hospital with its own doctors, nurses, and staff specializing in the care of infants and children.

The hospital consists of four separate units — a 29-bed Maternal Infant Care Center (MICC), a 39-bed Level 3 Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU), a 19-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), and a 28-bed general pediatric unit with a five bed step-down unit. Our doctors and nurses conduct more than 90,000 clinical examinations per year at outpatient clinics throughout West Virginia.

Each year more than 7,000 children are admitted to WVU Children’s Hospital. These children come from every West Virginia county and the surrounding states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky. They suffer from every imaginable injury and illness from cuts and bruises to cardiac disorders and cancer.

We take pride in being home to West Virginia’s only pediatric neurosurgeon and pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon. WVU Children’s Hospital’s commitment to quality healthcare reaches every corner of the state with our regional outpatient clinics. These exclusive services allow us to treat children from across the state and around the country.

We also are the state’s only Children’s Miracle Network hospital. CMN is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children by raising funds for children’s hospitals across North America. Each year the 170 Children’s Miracle Network hospitals provide the finest medical care, life-saving research and preventative education to help millions of kids overcome diseases and injuries of every kind.

WVU Children’s Hospital, along with WVU Hospitals, has been nationally recognized with the prestigious Magnet Award for nursing excellence, an honor earned by less than 5% of the nation’s 6,000 hospitals. Hospitals that apply for this distinction must demonstrate adherence to more than 60 criteria of excellence in patient care and nursing professionalism before they are approved for this distinction by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, part of the American Nurses Association.
