WVU Medicine United Hospital Center (UHC) announced today, plans for a new, state-of-the-art clinic in Randolph County. When completed later next year, the Elkins Corridor Medical Center will consist of primary and outpatient services close to home for residents of Elkins and surrounding communities. This project is subject to regulatory approval.
Construction of UHC’s newest clinic will cost more than $37 million, occupying 38,000-square-feet, and will be conveniently located off Corridor H on North Randolph Avenue in Elkins. This project is a collaborative effort among UHC, Elkins community leadership, and the Thrasher Group, Inc., which evokes a patient-centered design.
This marks UHC’s first venture of this size and scope in Randolph County. When the new facility opens in 2025 with 34 exam rooms, two procedure rooms, and one cast room, nearly 30 people will be employed.
A centerpiece of the new facility will be the multiple specialty conveniences available, which will include:
- Essential health and wellness services consisting of lab collection, primary care, infusion, and walk-in Family Medicine (open for extended and weekend hours)
- A comprehensive imaging services with CT, X-Ray, ultrasound, echocardiography, and vascular screening
- A range of rotating physician specialty clinics will be available including audiology, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, infectious disease, oncology, orthopedic surgery, pain medicine, pulmonology, rheumatology, and urology
“WVU Medicine United Hospital Center looks forward to serving patients in the Elkins Corridor and delivering advanced care close to their homes,” said David F. Hess, MD, president and CEO of UHC. “We are thrilled to bring this new facility and all the services it will offer the region.”
