Women and Children's Hospital
Each year more than 2,000 babies are born at CAMC Women and Children's Hospital, many of which are high-risk births.
CAMC Women and Children's Hospital is home to the region's largest and busiest Level IV (highest level) neonatal intensive care unit and level I (highest level) pediatric intensive care unit.
- High-tech, maternal-fetal medicine and gynecologic cancer services are also offered.
Funds raised sustain a positive and healing presence in West Virginia and help provide the best possible start in life for our tiny patients.
Cancer Center
- West Virginia’s leading provider of cancer services, CAMC offers the highest level of care in a supportive environment close to home.
- Our highly trained specialists treat many types of cancer, and as such, the CAMC Foundation helps fund many programs and services related to that care.
- CAMC Foundation successfully raised $15 million dollars to construct a new Cancer Center in 2015.
- Additional funds are needed to fund additional programs and services.
CAMC Foundation Hospitality House
The CAMC Foundation Hospitality House provides free or significantly reduced cost lodging to patients and their families while receiving medical care away from their home communities.
Unlike a hotel, the CAMC Foundation Hospitality House provides opportunities for those going through similar stressful situations to come together as a group where they can support one another.
With the help of generous and compassionate donors, the CAMC Foundation can provide for the physical comfort and emotional needs of families during a medical crisis so that they may participate fully with the medical team as partners in care.
The CAMC Institute of Academic Medicine has been committed to improving health through research for more than 40 years.
Through research, education, and health promotion, CAMC Institute for Academic Medicine aims to improve the health of our patients and community.
Research focuses on:
- Preventative healthcare
- Improving patient outcomes
- Evaluating health services and quality of care

Upcoming Event CAMC Foundation Run For Your Life
Saturday, June 18, 2022 5-mile Run, 2.5-mile Walk
The CAMC Foundation Run for Your Life is a 5-Mile Run, 2.5-Mile Walk created by a group of runners to honor their friend Charleston Daily Mail Sports Editor, Jodi Jividen, who passed away from colorectal cancer in 2002.
Since 2004, the event has grown to honor and memorialize many people who have faced the terrible disease of colorectal cancer.
The mission of the event is to benefit colorectal cancer awareness and screening initiatives to help people who could not otherwise afford critical screening procedures in our community.
