PARKERSBURG — Coplin Health Systems has added Cindy Dugan, M.D., to its behavioral health team.

Dugan brings nearly 30 years of experience and a strong commitment to compassionate care as a psychiatrist treating patients of all ages, according to a press release announcing the appointment.

She will continue to see patients across the lifespan, with a current focus on accepting new pediatric referrals for children and adolescents aged 6-17. In this role, she will provide care for psychiatric conditions, including, but not limited to, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder, depression, and anxiety.

With the addition of Dugan, Coplin Health Systems extends its commitment to its mission to provide comprehensive, compassionate care and enhance access to mental health care in the rural communities it serves, the release said. As Dugan is also passionate about substance use disorder treatment, she will help Coplin expand its services in that area, as well, it said.

“We are excited to welcome Dr. Dugan to the team,” said Tracy Martin, Chief Operating Officer, Coplin Health Services. “Not only will she expand our ability to meet the growing mental and behavioral health needs of our patients, but she already knows this community well.
