Mountains of Hope

WV Health Connection, through the WVU Office of Health Services Research (WVU OHSR), is a network of clinic and community partners that work to create a system for patients to discover supportive, accessible programs. WVU OHSR provides direct technical assistance to partners through a variety of ways (ex. keeping an updated list of the active programs and program leaders across West Virginia, supporting referrals to these programs, helping partners securely and reliably track necessary metrics, and helping partners measure the effectiveness of programming to demonstrate value) to support clinic and community connections that make a lasting impact. Through this updated list of active programs and program leaders, WV Health Connection can support partners trained as tobacco cessation specialists with directing referrals to their work, providing a platform and network for knowledge-sharing among tobacco cessation specialists, and by showing the impact of tobacco cessation work in West Virginia.
