The center’s opening marks a significant step toward improving healthcare access across the state, alleviating geographic barriers and positioning the region for long-term health and well-being.

“A corridor connects, bringing people from where they are to where they need to be, and that’s exactly what Elkins Corridor Medical Center does,” said David F. Hess, president and CEO of UHC. “This center is a path that leads straight to fast, compassionate care, right here at home in Elkins.”
