FAIRMONT, W.Va. — WVU Medicine has received approval to add 32 beds at Fairmont Medical Center.
WVU Hospitals opened an emergency department at Fairmont Medical Center last June with 10 beds. Services at the facility have expanded to cardiology and vascular care.
“We are continually looking for opportunities to expand the services available at Fairmont Medical Center for the residents of Marion County,” said Albert Wright, the WVU Health System president and CEO. “As the demand for inpatient and outpatient care grows, we will do what we can to ensure that those in the greater Fairmont area receive the care they need close to home.”
The addition brings the number of inpatient beds to 42, which will result in 100 new employees.
