WVU Medicine Grant Memorial Hospital (GMH) is pleased to announce work is underway to open a Rapid Care Walk-In Clinic in Petersburg.
In cooperation with the Grant County Commission, the former Halterman building has been added to the existing lease agreement between the County and GMH. This strategic collaboration between GMH and Grant County allows the hospital to provide expanded access to care, local job creation, and a strengthened healthcare infrastructure for the region that would not be possible otherwise.
Kevin Hagerty, President of the Grant County Commission, stated: “The county commission is extraordinarily excited to be a part of this project with Grant Memorial Hospital. We look forward to seeing the development of this facility and having another wonderful asset within our community. We appreciate all of the hard work that was put into this effort by everyone involved.”
During the time that the hospital designs the space and makes the necessary renovations and improvements to eventually provide Rapid Care, Radiology, Lab, and other services, GMH will open a Rapid Care Clinic at 10 Valley View Street in Petersburg later this year.
On behalf of the Seneca Rocks Regional Development Authority, Sherry Mongold, Executive Director, released the following statement: “The Seneca Rocks Regional Development Authority is proud to announce its partnership with Grant Memorial Hospital. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in our mission to bring new jobs and services to our community. We believe that healthcare is a vital part of our community, and the growth and local offerings in this sector are integral to our mission as a development authority. We look forward to the positive impact this partnership will have on the area.”
John Sylvia, President and CEO of Grant Memorial Hospital added “The hospital is grateful to the Development Authority and the County Commissioners for their efforts to ensure the residents of the area have access to needed healthcare services. It is relationships like these that allow the hospital to make a difference in the health of the region.”
Stay tuned for updates as these projects progress. WVU Medicine Grant Memorial Hospital looks forward to improving access to primary care services in a non-emergency healthcare setting.
