United Hospital Center is the result of a merger between St. Mary’s and Union Protestant hospitals in 1970. This bold move provides North Central West Virginia with a regional community hospital that offers a vast array of services.
The new UHC opened in 2010 and is located along Interstate 79 in Bridgeport. The 692,000-square-foot structure rises eight stories. It is designed around the environment with the patient, family, staff, and community in mind – which includes enhanced patient privacy, a high level of technology integration, and improved access to care.
The acute care facility has 292 private inpatient rooms with a medical staff that consist of more than 381 physicians and extenders. UHC employs more than 2,500 employees and is a member of WVU Medicine.
