PARKERSBURG — Nurse practitioner Mary Treadway has joined the Coplin Health Systems team.

Treadway brings more than 15 years of experience in providing health care services to patients of all ages.

“I am excited to join the talented team of primary care providers at Coplin Health Systems,” Treadway said. “I look forward to educating my patients about the importance of preventative services and chronic disease management. I am especially passionate about the prevention and management of diabetes.”

Treadway received her bachelor’s of science in nursing in December 2009 from West Virginia University at Parkersburg and a master’s of science in nursing in May 2015 from Wheeling Jesuit University. She is board-certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

Prior to joining Coplin Health Systems, Treadway worked eight years for WVU Medicine in Parkersburg as an inpatient diabetes educator and an outcomes specialist.

“My passion is taking care of people and treating every patient as though they are a member of my family,” she said. “Chronic diseases like diabetes aren’t just a high-sugar problem; it’s a silent threat to overall health. Nurse practitioners, like me, stand as partners in this battle, guiding patients with personalized care plans, education and support to keep diabetes in check and empower healthier lifestyles.”

Rob Dudley, CEO of Coplin Health Systems, said Treadway’s knowledge, energy and compassion for the well-being and education of her patients will benefit the community’s overall health.

“Mary exemplifies the mission and values of Coplin Health Systems and will be a blessing to the communities we serve,” Dudley said.

She brings patient-focused skills to the organization, according to Dr. Darrin E. Nichols, Coplin’s chief medical officer.

“Mary brings so many patient-focused skills to our team from her variety of training and certifications, but it’s her dedication to educating patients about chronic disease and the importance of preventative medicine that will allow her to empower her patients,” he said.

Treadway is now seeing patients at the Coplin Health Systems, Camden Avenue, Parkersburg Family Care location. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 304.917.3733 or visit CoplinHealth.com.
