MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Despite the nation’s unpredictable employment outlook, nearly 400 jobs are currently available at WVU Healthcare. From pharmacy to phlebotomy, part-time to full-time, the openings available represent a full range of career opportunities.

“WVU Healthcare is fortunate to be experiencing growth right now,” explained John Bihun, human resources director at WVU Healthcare. “While a struggling economy has had a negative impact on many health systems around the country, the growth of WVU Healthcare allows us to better serve our patients.”

Bihun stressed that it takes many talents to successfully deliver care to patients, and every position within WVU Healthcare has a direct impact on the service those patients receive. Whether clinical in nature or a clerical, service, professional or administrative position, all 380 jobs now available within WVU Healthcare demand a team mentality, said Bihun.
