Our Company

In 1999, Robert A. Hess, MD, and Stephen Shy, DO, formed an emergency department staffing company based in Huntington, WV, called Ohio Valley Physicians. Two decades later, Ohio Valley Physicians is now a multi-faceted, family/physician-owned and operated company called OVP HEALTH, employing hundreds of people in communities throughout the Midwest and East Coast regions.

In addition to providing hospitals with high quality emergency department and hospitalist services, OVP HEALTH offers communities primary care services and a highly effective and accredited outpatient medication-assisted treatment and counseling program for people suffering from opioid addiction. Headquartered in an area widely considered to be the epicenter of the opioid crisis, OVP HEALTH is uniquely experienced and qualified to address the growing public health problem of addiction and the serious medical conditions that often accompany it.
