Transforming Lives in Appalachia: The Story of OVP HEALTH and OVP Family

In 1999, two family physicians in Huntington, WV, founded a company to provide emergency department staffing and management services for a struggling Appalachian hospital. Today, that company, OVP HEALTH, has expanded its operations across Appalachia, offering hospital emergency and hospitalist services, outpatient primary and behavioral health care, and comprehensive treatment for substance use disorders.

Building on its extensive experience in addiction care, a strong foundation in medical and behavioral health services, and its core value of “Family,” OVP HEALTH launched OVP Family to transform the lives of Appalachian children and families.

What sets OVP Family apart? It’s an Appalachian company serving Appalachian families within the region. More importantly, it goes beyond placing children in loving foster homes in West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio. OVP Family uniquely provides seamless access to vital medical care, behavioral health support, and essential resources for foster children, their biological parents, and foster families.
