Dr. Charles W. Clements II was born in Luray, Virginia, the oldest son of Charles and Ann Clements. After 21 years of active duty in the United States Army, he retired to embark on a career as a physician to care for families in West Virginia. During his medical education, he focused on family medicine, participating in the inaugural Marshall Primary Care Curriculum. As a resident, he was one of only 20 recipients of the 1998 Mead-Johnson Award of Graduate Education in Family Medicine.
An active member of the Huntington community, he serves on the boards of several medical organizations, including River Park Hospital and Doctors Care of Cabell County. He is Vice-Chair for Clinical Affairs of Marshall University Family Medicine. He volunteers medical support to the Boy Scouts Bechtel Summit High Adventure Camp during the summer.
Perhaps one of his most important accomplishments is being one of the founders of Marshall Medical Outreach to the Homeless. In 2016, that team deployed to Rainelle, West Virginia, to assist in flood relief operations, providing medical aid to victims of the flood.
For these and other accomplishments, Clements was awarded the Jack McConnell Award for Volunteerism by the American Medical Association.
