Change comes from within
West Virginia University's responsibility as the state’s Land Grant University is to use the power of knowledge and human connection to lift up people everywhere in our state. But as they say on airplanes, in an emergency you should put on your own oxygen mask first, before you attempt to help others. You can’t be much help if you gasping for air. That’s why WVU's vice president for health sciences has asked a group of leaders from across WVU Medicine and the Health Sciences Center – and outside our campus – to join the new Quality of Life Initiative.
