Growing numbers of maternity units are closing across the country, but one Morgantown, W.Va.-based WVU Medicine rural hospital is bucking that trend.
And the addition of such services at Glen Dale-based Reynolds Memorial Hospital is just one success story the hospital can speak of.
The hospital, since its takeover by 20-hospital system WVU Medicine in 2015, has seen gross revenue increase from $90.9 million to $354.7 million in 2022, according to published WVU figures.
Profits and investment have also been on the rise throughout the seven-year period and, in addition to the birthing services, WVU Medicine has added behavioral health and infusion services at the Reynolds Memorial location.
