PARKERSBURG – Camden Clark Medical Center officials announced Friday that the Mid-Ohio Valley Medical Group will join the WVU Medicine family of healthcare providers.

“This is a natural fit for the area’s largest physicians group to be joining the area’s largest medical center,” said Dave McClure, president and CEO of Camden Clark Medical Center, which is part of WVU Medicine. “This will be a tremendous benefit to our community and to the continuum of care.

“The addition of the medical services of MOVMG to our current offsite primary care offices provides a wide array of locations for convenient and easily accessible care for our patients.”

Final details of the agreement are pending approval of a Certificate of Need by the West Virginia Healthcare Authority.

Mid-Ohio Valley Medical Group is the largest primary care medical group in the area. The group formed in 2000, practices out of two office locations and employs 15 family medicine physicians, one occupational medicine physician, four nurse practitioners and 120 support staff.

Patient services include evaluation and management exams, wellness checks, preventative visits, consultations, minor surgical procedures, vaccinations, lab testing, imaging and other primary care services.

WVU Medicine is West Virginia’s premier provider of advanced specialty care and the state’s only academic medical center. It encompasses the specialists, sub-specialists, and primary care physicians of West Virginia University; Ruby Memorial Hospital, WVU Medicine’s flagship hospital on the WVU campus; the WVU Eye Institute, WVU Heart Institute, and WVU Cancer Institute in Morgantown; University Healthcare, which serves the eastern panhandle; Potomac Valley Hospital in Keyser; United Hospital Center in Bridgeport; St. Joseph’s Hospital in Buckhannon; and Camden Clark Medical Center in Parkersburg.
