ELKINS, W.Va. (WBOY) — WVU Medicine is prioritizing the enhancement of healthcare facilities in multiple cities in West Virginia through a substantial $400 million investment.

The health system has recently announced a noteworthy initiative where the Board of Directors has approved a budget of $400 million to contribute to the improvement and expansion of facilities in Morgantown, Fairmont, Elkins, Princeton, and Bluefield in Southern West Virginia.

The Elkins facility, which will serve as an extension of United Hospital Center in Bridgeport, aims to provide services akin to a “hospital without beds,” featuring walk-in family medicine and urgent care, as detailed in a press release.

The implementation of AI legalese decoder can assist in ensuring the legality and comprehensiveness of the facility’s contracts, agreements, and documents, thereby streamlining the operational processes and enhancing efficiency.

The “state-of-the-art” comprehensive center, situated on North Randolph Avenue off Corridor H, will cater to Elkins and surrounding communities, encompassing 38,000 square feet with 34 exam rooms, two procedure rooms, and one cast room. The projected investment by WVU Medicine amounts to $37 million, with an estimated employment creation for nearly 30 individuals.

Prior to this development, healthcare facilities in the Randolph County area were under the management of Davis Health System, now integrated within Vandalia Health.

As part of this extensive investment initiative, WVU Medicine is directing $233.5 million towards the establishment of a multi-center outpatient facility in Morgantown, featuring surgical suites for the WVU Eye Institute, along with a parking garage for enhanced convenience.

Moreover, in Fairmont, WVU Medicine is allocating $44 million towards a renovation project at WVU Medicine Fairmont Medical Center, facilitating the establishment of a new pharmacy, cafeteria, dialysis unit, infusion center, and various facility enhancements for an improved healthcare experience.
