BELINGTON, W.Va. (August 20, 2025) — Barbour Community Health Association (BCHA) has added to its medical staff by hiring Paige (Bibey) Tusing, FNP-C, as a family nurse practitioner. Tusing, who will join BCHA in mid-August, will see patients at the Belington Medical Clinic.
In May, Tusing attained a Master of Science in Nursing degree from West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from West Virginia University in Morgantown.
Tusing is a familiar face to many in the community. A Belington native, she previously completed clinical rotations at Belington Medical Clinic and Barbour Quick Care.
“I’m so excited to be back working in the town where I grew up, and I’m very thankful to have this opportunity,” said Tusing. “I look forward to starting my career as a nurse practitioner with people I’ve known my whole life.”
Prior to joining BCHA, Tusing was a registered nurse in the emergency department at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Buckhannon. She also previously served as a clinical associate at J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown.
“We are thrilled to welcome Paige to our team,” said Eric Ruf, CEO of BCHA. “Her strong clinical background, passion for pediatric care, and deep connection to this community make her an exceptional addition to Barbour Community Health Association.
