An exciting new chapter is beginning for Orchard Park, as we officially transition into the WVU Medicine family under our new name, WVU Medicine Healthy Minds - Kids.
This transition represents much more than a new name or brand. It marks an important step forward in our shared commitment to providing exceptional behavioral and mental healthcare to children and families throughout our local communities and beyond.
By becoming part of WVU Medicine, Healthy Minds - Kids will benefit from the strength, resources, and long-term financial stability of one of the region's leading healthcare systems. This partnership creates opportunities for continued growth, greater collaboration, and enhanced access to services while building upon the compassionate, patient-centered care that has long defined Orchard Park.
"We are incredibly excited to welcome Orchard Park into the WVU Medicine family and begin this next chapter together," said Douglass Harrison, president and CEO of WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital and regional president of WVU Medicine's North Region.
The work being done here is vitally important to the children and families we serve. By bringing our teams together under the WVU Medicine umbrella, we are strengthening our ability to provide high-quality behavioral healthcare, support the dedicated professionals who deliver that care, and ensure these essential services remain available to our communities for generations to come."
As we move forward together, our focus remains on the people who matter most: our patients, their families, and the dedicated team members who make this work possible. While our name and organizational identity are changing, our commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality care remains as strong as ever.
We look forward to officially celebrating this exciting milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov. 9, marking the beginning of a bright future as WVU Medicine Healthy Minds - Kids.
To everyone who has been part of the Orchard Park story, thank you. Your dedication, compassion, and commitment have built a foundation upon which we are proud to grow.
Together, as one unified WVU Medicine family, we look forward to continuing that legacy, strengthening our services, and making a lasting difference in the lives of children and families for years to come.
