The Fairmont Medical Center, a campus of J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital, provides high-quality emergency and inpatient care for the residents of Marion County and the surrounding area. We have served the community for more than 80 years since Fairmont General Hospital first opened in 1939.
After the hospital’s former owner closed the Fairmont Regional Medical Center in March 2020, WVU Medicine opened a new campus of J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital at the Locust Avenue location, renaming it Fairmont Medical Center in June 2020.
Emergency and inpatient services at the Fairmont Medical Center complement the care already provided at the WVU Medicine Fairmont Gateway Clinic and WVU Medicine West Fairmont Clinic.
