About Us

For over 100 years, WVU Medicine St. Joseph’s Hospital has been caring for the people of central West Virginia. Founded by the Pallottine Missionary Sisters, our hospital was built on a strong foundation of service, healing, and faith-based values. Today, as part of the WVU Medicine family, we continue that mission with a renewed focus on growth, innovation, and meeting the long-term needs of our community.

As a designated Critical Access Hospital, we’re committed to providing essential medical services close to home. Our team includes more than 40 primary care and specialty providers serving patients in our hospital and surrounding clinics. Our facility features a Level IV Trauma Emergency Department, surgical suites, and acute and critical care units.

We also offer a wide range of services, including imaging and lab work, cardiac/pulmonary rehabilitation programs, and a chemotherapy and infusion center. In addition, our hospital is home to a long-term nursing care facility, ensuring continued care for patients who require extended support. Our labor and delivery unit has been recognized by the West Virginia Perinatal Partnership for its excellence in caring for pregnant women and newborns, reaffirming our role as a trusted partner in family health.

At St. Joseph’s Hospital, we believe that exceptional care doesn’t require a long drive or a large facility-we believe it should be accessible and personal. We are proud to continue offering More Ways to Care, Right Here at Home.

We are inspired by the love of Christ to provide our community with quality healthcare in ways which respect the God-given dignity of each person and the sacredness of human life.

St. Joseph’s Hospital will be the best small-town hospital in West Virginia.

Our values are the guiding principles for all our actions. Because the love of Christ is the motivating force for all we do, we have arranged our core values to His Name:
