The Robert C. Byrd Clinic, located on the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM) campus, will become WVSOM Health on July 1.
Discussions about a comprehensive rebranding initiative to more clearly align the clinic with WVSOM’s academic mission and to solidify the clinic’s central role as the institution’s primary clinical training site took place in January. The WVSOM Board of Governors approved the implementation plan to restructure the Robert C. Byrd Clinic at its Mar. 27 meeting.
“The transition of the Robert C. Byrd Clinic to WVSOM Health is a milestone in the histories of both institutions,” said WVSOM President James W. Nemitz, Ph.D. “The restructuring and rebranding of the clinic will better align the missions of both organizations to enhance patient care and education of WVSOM medical students. I look forward to a new era of health care in the Greenbrier Valley.”
