Endometriosis care in West Virginia

West Virginia's academic gynecology is in Morgantown, Charleston and Huntington. The WVU School of Medicine's obstetrics and gynecology department in Morgantown says its gynecologic surgeons are trained in advanced minimally invasive and robotic surgery. In Charleston, CAMC's minimally invasive surgery page lists endometriosis surgery, described as removal of an endometrioma or cauterization of endometrial implants, among its gynecologic procedures, and says the hospital is designated a Robotic Surgery Center of Excellence by the Surgical Review Corporation. In Huntington, Marshall Health's gynecology service describes advanced surgical capabilities including robotic surgery, with several physicians listing minimally invasive surgery among their interests. We could not verify a separately named endometriosis, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery or pelvic pain program anywhere in the state.

Charleston is about 130 miles from Morgantown in a straight line, Huntington about 40 from Charleston, Beckley about 50 from Charleston and Parkersburg about 90 from Morgantown. Martinsburg in the Eastern Panhandle is about 100 miles from Morgantown but about 60 from Washington.

West Virginia adopted the Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion in 2014, so adults with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level can qualify for coverage. America's Health Rankings' 2026 report puts 17.0 percent of West Virginia women aged 15 to 44 in a county with no hospital or birth center offering obstetric care and no obstetric clinicians. The West Virginia Department of Health is the state's public health agency; we could not verify a dedicated women's health page.
