IHCWV to Discontinue Dental Services by May 30, 2025

WEST UNION, W.Va. — Integrated Health Centers of West Virginia (IHCWV), formerly known as Ritchie Regional Health Center, has announced that it will discontinue its dental services at the end of May. Dr. Holly Haldeman-Collins’ last day with IHCWV, and the final day of dental operations, will be May 30, 2025.

Discontinuing dental services was a challenging decision for IHCWV Board of Directors, but it was made with the community's needs as the top priority. By allowing Wilson Martino Dental to lease IHCWV’s current dental office locations in Doddridge County, more robust dental services and extended hours of operation will be available. While the dental program concludes, IHCWV will continue offering Primary Care and Behavioral Health Services to the community without interruption.

“We’ve been honored to serve your family’s dental needs over the years,” stated the IHCWV Administrative Office in a letter to patients. “We understand this transition may raise concerns, and we are committed to assisting our patients in continuing their dental care elsewhere.”

Patients are encouraged to select a new dental provider as soon as possible to ensure a smooth transition and prevent a lapse in dental care.
Possible Options:

• Wilson Martino Dental (Wilson Martino Dental will provide dental services at IHCWV’s current dental offices, accepting all insurance plans and offering Specialized Fee Schedules & Payment Plans) - 304-408-3270
• Minnie Hamilton Health System Dental Office (*Offers Sliding Fee Discount Program – discounted service rates for uninsured or underinsured individuals based on income level and household size) – 304-354-5998
• Preston-Taylor Community Health Centers Dental Office (*Offers Sliding Fee Discount Program – discounted service rates for uninsured or underinsured individuals based on income level and household size) – 304-265-4600
