Bush, R.N., B.S.N., M.B.A., C.N.O.R., chief administrative officer for WVU Medicine Children’s, said. “Throughout the years, their generosity through their Kickoff for Kids Campaign has enabled the hospital to make great strides in improving healthcare for children throughout the region, and for that we are forever grateful.”
