A message from Dr. Clay Marsh, chancellor and executive dean of WVU Health Sciences
Dear Colleagues and Students, Many of you are following West Virginia House Bill 302, which addresses reproductive health and was approved by the state Legislature and has been signed into law by the Governor. You may come to the conversation with varied positions and complex views on abortion. This is a polarizing topic that can feel difficult to discuss and address with family, friends and co-workers. As a physician educator, I want you to know that our commitment remains unchanged to make sure that the best care and resources are available for our patients and our campus community. We will continue to support and advocate for the provision of safe care for all pregnant patients in accordance with all applicable laws. We don’t know what the next steps are yet, but we do know that open and honest dialogue with each other and leading with compassion and empathy is central to the culture we want to embody across the WVU System. We will continue to rely on the expertise of our medical professionals to guide future discussions.
