WVU Medicine opens respiratory clinics in

Berkeley and Jefferson counties

WVU Medicine East and University Healthcare Physicians have opened two
respiratory clinics in the Eastern Panhandle in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The respiratory clinics are open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the
following locations:

Martinsburg—Medical Office Building (MOB) 1, 2010 Doctor Oates Drive
Ranson—WVU Medicine Surgery – Jefferson, 201 East Fifth Avenue

Patients experiencing symptoms of a respiratory illness such as fever, cough or
shortness of breath should visit these clinics if they require medical assistance.

Patients experiencing symptoms of a respiratory illness but unsure if medical
assistance is necessary should contact their medical provider or the WVU Medicine
East COVID-19 Triage Hotline at 304.596.2890 before leaving the house.

“It's been amazing to watch the effort and commitment from our staff and clinicians
in getting the clinics up and running,” David Baltierra, M.D., family medicine medical
director for University Healthcare Physicians, said. “We are here to take care of
patients with respiratory symptoms so that our community can feel safe and other
medical offices can remain open to care for everyone else with medical needs.”

For questions about testing or a possible exposure, please call the WVU Medicine
East COVID-19 Triage Hotline at 304.596.2890 to speak with a medical professional.
