West Virginia hospitals: racial-equity scorecards
46 Medicare-certified hospitals serve West Virginia, represented by the West Virginia Hospital Association. This page aggregates CMS Hospital Compare measures — overall star rating, mortality / safety / readmission / patient-experience measure-group performance — for each of those facilities.
WVU Medicine's Ruby Memorial in Morgantown is the state's largest teaching hospital and Level I trauma center. Charleston Area Medical Center runs the Southern WV tertiary network.
The state's recognized safety-net hospital systems — the facilities that carry a disproportionate share of Medicaid and uninsured admissions — include: WVU Medicine (Ruby Memorial, Morgantown), and Charleston Area Medical Center. Each has its own detail page below.
Two editorial notes on scope. First, CMS does not publish a racial-disparity scorecard per-hospital at national scale; what we surface below is the facility's overall CMS rating paired with any race-stratified metric we could find in a primary source (AHRQ Disparities Atlas, a state discharge scorecard, or a published study). Second, we do not rank hospitals as 'worst for Black patients' without a primary-source citation — the legal standard for that claim requires it.
