West Virginia Upper Ohio Valley Chapter of the AALNC

Thirteen legal nurse consultants of West Virginia met on Wednesday, January 24, 2001, to discuss and initiate the formation of the first American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants Chapter in the state of West Virginia. We were welcomed as an official chartered chapter on August 1, 2001, and designated as Chapter #51 with the name West Virginia Upper Ohio Valley Chapter.

The chapter has partnered with the Wheeling Academy of Law and Science to share legal/medical education for liability and litigation issues. The two organizations intend to push a common goal of professionalism and effective fact-finding to support fair legal medical liability outcomes. The academy and contributing lawyers expect to strengthen the Ohio Valley’s commitment to fair and just legal representation and medical practice considerations.

Although the West Virginia Upper Ohio Valley Chapter has a relatively short history, its achievements have been impressive. The chapter provides continuing education, dynamic networking opportunities, and assisted with the founding of the Legal Nurse Consultant Section of the West Virginia Bar Association. This marked the first time a bar association was extended an invitation of membership to legal nurse consultants. The installation links medical and legal professional educational information sharing.

We continuously strive to meet the needs of our members by providing web-based education opportunities to help you grow as Legal Nurse Consultants.

Whether you are a seasoned Legal Nurse Consultant or Expert Witness, new to the specialty, or interested in getting started, we would love to have you join the WVUOV ONLINE Chapter of AALNC.

In 2017, we became the first completely ONLINE Chapter. Our members are nurses from Florida to Alaska.
