President/CEO
WVU Health System
Albert is the president and CEO of the West Virginia University (WVU) Health System, West Virginia’s largest, private employer.
Before joining the Health System in 2014, Albert served in several senior-level leadership positions at some of the Nation’s most prestigious healthcare systems and academic medical centers, including Ohio Health and UPMC.
As president and CEO, Albert has transformed the WVU Health System, moving it from a holding company to a fully integrated network of hospitals and clinics across a four-state region that includes West Virginia, Western Maryland, Eastern Ohio, and Southwest Pennsylvania. He also significantly expanded the Health System’s specialty and sub-specialty care in areas such as cancer, heart and vascular, neuroscience, and pediatrics. Under his leadership, the Health System also became West Virginia’s first and only multi-organ transplant center, and in late 2022, the Health System opened a 150-bed Children’s Hospital.
Today, the WVU Health System is West Virginia’s largest network of hospitals, clinics, and specialty institutes with more than 3,000 licensed beds, 4,000 providers, and 30,000 employees. An 881-bed, Magnet-recognized academic medical center in Morgantown, West Virginia anchors the network of 24 hospitals and clinics. In 2023, the Health System launched Peak Health, its health insurance company, with Albert serving as its board chair.
Albert obtained his Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy degree at the University of Toledo, a Master of Health Administration at The Ohio State University, and his Doctor of Pharmacy at the University of Florida. He is involved in several charitable and civic organizations and serves on several boards. He and his wife, Joy, have four children.
