WVU Medicine Berkeley, Jefferson Medical Centers
honored by West Virginia Hospital Association

The West Virginia Hospital Association (WVHA) recently recognized WVU Medicine Berkeley Medical
Center and WVU Medicine Jefferson Medical Center for outstanding work in the Commitment to
Excellence Honors Program.
The hospitals were honored for their commitment to the following topic areas:

• Antibiotic Stewardship
• Breastfeeding Initiative
• Care Transitions
• Emergency Department Information Exchange (EDIE)
• Hospital Improvement Innovation Network (HIIN)
• Influenza Vaccination
• Opioid Stewardship
• Tobacco Cessation Assistance

The WVHA is a not-for-profit statewide organization representing 63 hospitals and health systems
across the continuum of care. Members of the Association believe it is essential, in the interest of
West Virginia citizens, to have a strong healthcare system that supports and improves the health
status of those people served by the state's hospitals, as well as the economic condition of the state.

West Virginia’s hospitals seek to establish and maintain trust among providers, policymakers, and
the public through actions, sensitivity, professionalism and community-minded commitment to
service. The Commitment to Excellence Honors Program is a way hospitals can be recognized for the
outstanding work they do in pursuit of these goals.
