Support essential to grow WVU Medicine Children's
Any team can use more help.
Just ask WVU football coach Dana Holgorsen. Think he’d refuse more quality players, additions to his facilities, and more fan support?
It’s the same at WVU Medicine. The $60 million campaign to build a new state-of-the-art children’s hospital and women’s pavilion is underway. But it can always use more support. The theme says it all: Grow hope. Grow healing. Grow WVU Medicine Children’s.
Holgorsen, along with former WVU and NFL quarterback Jeff Hostetler, and West Virginia native Steve Antoline, have been named co-chairs of the campaign with the mission of building a new home for WVU Medicine Children’s pediatric and maternal services.
“I am honored to be a chairman of this fundraising effort and work along with Jeff Hostetler and Steve Antoline,” Holgorsen said. “All three of us want the best for the state of West Virginia and our great University. This will be one of the best medical facilities for children and women in the country, and miracles will happen on a daily basis right here in Morgantown.”
Recently, WVU Medicine launched a video ad that highlights the goals and mission of the campaign. The ad airs statewide. A website has been created, providing more details, including a portal for contributions.
The 155-bed, nine-story hospital is scheduled to be completed in 2020 and will include:
- Entry, registration, administration, and building services
- Diagnostic imaging and lab services
- Two connections to the Southeast Tower (the WVU Heart and Vascular Institute)
- Operating rooms, cardiac catheterization, and endoscopy facilities
- A 25-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and sedation unit
- A 61-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
- A 39-bed pediatric acute care unit
- A 30-bed obstetrical unit with potential for expansion
- A medical office building, including Pediatric subspecialty and more
