Recognizing the 175th anniversary of Wheeling Hospital in Wheeling, West Virginia.
AI Summary
This resolution recognizes the 175th anniversary of Wheeling Hospital, a significant healthcare institution in West Virginia founded in 1850 by Bishop Richard Whelan, Dr. Simon Hullihen, and other physicians. The resolution highlights the hospital's long history of serving patients, including its early support from the Sisters of St. Joseph, its growth from a 30-bed facility to a modern medical complex, and its critical role in addressing public health challenges such as disease outbreaks and wartime medical needs. The document traces the hospital's evolution through various milestones, including establishing innovative medical units like the first intensive care and coronary care units in West Virginia, opening specialized facilities like the Howard Long Wellness Center, and expanding its physical infrastructure with modern buildings. The resolution also acknowledges the hospital's recent affiliation with the West Virginia University Health System in 2021 while maintaining its Catholic identity, and expresses appreciation to the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston and WVU Medicine for their continued support. The Senate extends its gratitude for the hospital's 175 years of service and directs the Clerk to forward the resolution to the Bishop and hospital leadership.
