Emergency care at St. Francis will transfer to Thomas Memorial Hospital, which is just about seven miles away. Both hospitals are affiliates of Morgantown-based West Virginia University Health System.

Thomas Health System became a full member of West Virginia University Health System in November. Establishing the orthopedic hospital is part of their partnership, and it will have comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
