Oak Hill, WV (April 23, 2018) Plateau Medical Center in Oak Hill, West Virginia is inviting community members to a groundbreaking celebration marking the beginning of its Campus Expansion Project. Formally dubbed “Building for the Future”, this expansion project paves the way for Plateau to increase its capacity in communities currently served as well as grow and develop into new communities. In addition, Plateau will continue to develop and expand its specialty service lines.
“This is an exciting day for our community, as we join together to celebrate a major expansion project that will enhance the care available to patients locally”, said Board Chairman William (Bill) Preston.
“The physicians and staff at Plateau have been working diligently to provide high quality care to our patients. This expansion will further improve our facility to match the high quality, 4-star service for which Plateau has been nationally recognized”, said Chief of Staff Dr. Scott Keffer.
The multi-million dollar construction project entails numerous improvements to the campus of Plateau Medical Center, including doubling the number of operating rooms, doubling the number of endoscopy suites, a new 8 bed post-anesthesia care unit, 10 new surgical prep/recovery rooms, renovation of Plateau’s private patient rooms, expansion of the emergency department and waiting areas, enhancements to the exterior of the facility, and many parking and landscape improvements surrounding the campus.
“Plateau Medical Center is wholeheartedly committed to the communities we serve in southern West Virginia. We are expanding for the future so we are able to continue to grow and provide high quality services for our patients. This project is also a commitment to our talented physicians, nurses, and other members of the highly skilled Plateau Team”, said Chris Howe, CEO of Plateau Medical Center.
Construction is expected to be completed in 2019. New jobs will be created to serve patients due to the expansion, including registered nurses as well as lab, imaging, admitting and environmental services staff. All of our job openings are posted on our careers page.
