PARKERSBURG -- WVU Medicine Camden Clark honored their employees with a cookout with games and prizes for their efforts in recently receiving the "Platinum Governor's Award" from The Partnership for Excellence.

The hospital was recognized for performance excellence through innovation, results, and visionary leadership using the Baldrige Excellence Framework. Camden Clark, honored with the platinum Governor's Award for Excellence, was the only West Virginia hospital on the list.
