OHIO Last year, many Fourth of July firework shows were called off because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It left many people to honor the holiday from inside their homes, maybe watching a display set off by a neighbor or two.
But this year, most of the shows are back on, welcoming communities to take part in Independence Day celebrations.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. Barnesville Hospital and Harrison Community Hospital officially became full members of the West Virginia University Health System on April 1.
“With these two hospitals, we’re solidifying our presence in the Upper Ohio Valley by ensuring that residents on both sides of the Ohio River have convenient access to the high quality care they need when and where they need it,” Albert L. Wright Jr., president and CEO of the WVU Health System, said. “It’s always exciting to grow a family, and the WVU Medicine family is no exception. We’re proud to welcome the patients and employees of these hospitals into the system, and we look forward to continuing and strengthening their legacies.”

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.

Looking around Wheeling Hospital, its inclusion into the West Virginia University Health System is obvious.
The “Flying WV,” the logo synonymous with WVU, can be found prominently and abundantly. Yet, Wheeling Hospital CEO Douglass Harrison said that the hospital joining the WVU team is much more than a cosmetic change. It’s a change that he feels will benefit Wheeling and the Ohio Valley immediately and well into the future.
“You’re joining a world-class academic health center and health system,” Harrison said. “As a part of that, WVU medicine will provide the resources necessary to make sure Wheeling Hospital is successful. If you look around our system, every hospital that we’ve brought in, if you look from day one and look through a three-year scope, you’ve seen growth.
