WV HOSPITALS CONTINUE TO CLOSE

(04/21/2020)

Despite announcing an approved buyer earlier this month, Williamson Memorial Hospital will close Tuesday, April 21st, 2020. According to officials, the decline in volumes experienced from the current coronavirus pandemic were too sudden and severe to sustain operations. Officials do say the new facility owner has expressed desire to find partners to restore the hospital's critical functions. Several thousand healthcare workers have lost their jobs, including the closures and downsizing of Ohio Valley Medical Center, Fairmont General, among others.
