WVU Medicine is expanding its surgical services in the bustling area near Shepherdstown to meet the healthcare needs of the growing population. This expansion aims to reduce the number of residents traveling to neighboring states for medical care. Active Commissioner Cara Keys and Sarah Cross, a physician's assistant with the new surgical practice, emphasize the importance of offering specialized services locally. With the eastern panhandle's population growth, the new center will focus on reconstructive surgery, particularly following cancer treatments, ensuring that residents can receive comprehensive care closer to home, as reported by DC News Now.
