New Medical Provider at RRHC

Board-certified family nurse practitioner, Christine Merrill, joins Ritchie Regional Health bringing over 20 years of nursing experience in the ICU and the ER, as well as urgent and primary care practice.

She obtained her Associate's Degree in Nursing at WVU Parkersburg and volunteered as a nurse-medic with Wirt County Emergency Medical Services. She obtained her bachelor's and her master's degrees at WVU in Morgantown. In 2017, she received her advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) license.

Christine and her husband, Kevin, moved to the Pennsboro area 5 years ago with a job opportunity and they are now glad to call the area home. Christine attends Pennsboro United Methodist Church and is a member of the Pennsboro Women’s Club, as well as the Mountaineer Beekeepers Association of WV.  

“It is indeed a pleasure and a privilege to serve the fine people in the West Union area. It is my goal to provide excellent healthcare to folks in the rural areas of Doddridge/Ritchie Counties.”
