WHEELING The wait was worth it for Albert Wright.
As president and CEO of WVU Medicine in Morgantown, the “academic health system of the land-grant university of the state of West Virginia,” Wright said it’s long been a goal of the health system to gain entry into the Northern Panhandle and Upper Ohio Valley markets. That initially came to fruition a few years ago with the acquisition of WVU Medicine Reynolds Memorial Hospital in Glen Dale, and was further cemented with the addition of WVU Medicine Wetzel County Hospital.
