WHEELING, W.Va. — WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital recently joined community partners in celebrating EMS Week and recognizing the dedicated emergency medical professionals who serve the Ohio Valley every day.
As part of the celebration, EMS personnel from across the region were honored during the annual EMS picnic, which was hosted this year at WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital.
