By November, Glenville and Gilmer County residents will have better access to WVU Medicine’s specialty care. Health System is set to open a 10,600 square foot clinic at the Waco Center near Glenville State College.

In a statement, Sandy Pettit, president of the Foundation, said that “we at the Glenville State College Foundation are pleased to welcome WVU Medicine as a new partner in providing quality healthcare to the residents of our community. It has long been our goal to expand medical services in Glenville, and this new partnership provides a pathway to that goal.”

Pettit also noted that WVU Medicine’s plans will utilize this new space at the Waco Center to its fullest potential. They also plan to offer access to the WVU Medicine network of hospitals and specialists. Pettit emphasized that the Foundation Board and College are very appreciative the long and mutually beneficial relationship with the current healthcare provider, Minnie Hamilton.

“Our decision to move forward with WVU Medicine in no way diminishes the excellent service Minnie Hamilton has provided, and we wish them well moving forward,” she said.
