BUCKHANNON, W.Va. — St. Joseph’s Hospital recognized its Advanced Practice Providers (APP) in April for their dedication and hard work for our patients and community.  St. Joseph’s Hospital’s APP team includes Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA),  Nurse Mid-Wives, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants.

Advanced Practice Providers are medical providers who are trained and educated similarly to physicians. They work in all areas of the hospital and clinic, and patients can be treated by an APP in the emergency room, operating room or during routine visits.

“We want to thank our APP’s for the compassionate care that they provide to our patients every day,” said Rodney Baker, Vice President of Ancillary Services and Physician Practice Administrator.  “They are part of our valuable team of medical professionals who ensure that our community receives the best in health care.”
