A YEAR OF EXPANSION The 1986-87 year was one of growth ond expansion for the WVU School of Medicine. As the new 376 bed hospital began to take shape in Morgantown, the free-stonding Chestnut Kidge Psychiatric Hospitol come closer to completion, and plons were made for the future Cancer Center. In Charlestown, the 150 bed Kan- awho Valley Division opened as the first Women and Children ' s Hospital in West Virginia, while the Cancer Care Center of Southern WV and the Heart Institute of WV also became operational. The pre- viously established Health-Net Helicopter transport system mushroomed into a much used service, carrying neonatal, obstetrical, cardiac, and trauma patients from throughout the state to the WVU referral centers. WVU Medical Center ac- quired the state ' s first MRI, and CAMC installed o new lithotripter. The new fa- cilities of the WVU School of Medicine and the new technological resources continue to improve the quality of education and health care in West Virginia.
