For families looking for infant and pediatric care close to home, the WVU Medicine St. Joseph’s Rural Health Clinic is now accepting newborns at its Buckhannon office.
Two providers are taking new patients. Rachel Burns, CPNP, a certified pediatric nurse practitioner, can be reached at 304-473-2202, and Sara Chipps, FNP-C, a certified family nurse practitioner, at 304-473-2305. Both see patients at the clinic in Building C at 94 West Main Street in Buckhannon.
Accepting newborns means parents can establish care for an infant locally — from well-baby checkups and immunizations to sick visits — without traveling out of the county.
WVU Medicine St. Joseph’s Hospital is a critical-access community hospital and part of the WVU Medicine system, offering 24-hour emergency care, inpatient services, and outpatient clinics throughout central West Virginia.
To schedule a newborn or pediatric appointment, call 304-473-2202 or 304-473-2305.
