Provider Spotlight: Morgan Winterbottom, PA-C

Barbour Community Health Association is excited to welcome Morgan Winterbottom to our healthcare team as a physician assistant. Morgan will work as a provider at Belington Medical Clinic and Myers Clinic.

We chatted with Morgan to learn a bit more about her background and what she’s looking forward to as a PA at BCHA’s clinics.

Tell us a little about yourself — where are you from? What school did you graduate from?

I’m originally from Lothian, Maryland. I graduated from Alderson Broaddus University for both my undergraduate in biology and PA school. I came to Philippi in 2015 and haven’t left since!

Why did you choose to work with BCHA?

After spending many years at ABU and traveling around North Central WV for my PA school rotations, I discovered that I really enjoyed rural healthcare and appreciated how welcoming, genuine, and kind the patients were to me, even as a student. As graduation approached, I realized that I wanted to stay in Barbour County and serve the community who had welcomed me and helped me grow all these years. Working with BCHA was the perfect opportunity to do this.

What drove you to want to work in healthcare?

I wanted to promote health and wellness on a personal level. Interacting and connecting with people has also brought a great sense of joy and purpose to me.

What do you hope to achieve through your role at BCHA?

I just hope to continue providing great team-based care and meeting the needs of the people in this community.

What’s the most enjoyable part of your job?

I really enjoy developing a relationship with my patients and making a difference in their quality of life.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I like to play lacrosse and seek out WV scenery. In the summer, I like driving back to Maryland to visit my family and go crabbing and fishing with my dad.

Morgan is now accepting patients at both locations. To schedule an appointment with her, please call Myers Clinic at (304) 457-2800 or Belington Medical Clinic at (304) 823-2800.
