Rivers Health A member of Marshall Health Network, Rivers Health is a 101-bed, not-for-profit facility. PVH also operates numerous medical clinics.

Established in 1959 as a 40-bed private, not-for-profit community hospital, Pleasant Valley Hospital today has developed into something much more...

This 101-bed facility offers a full spectrum of services and includes a 101-bed acute care facility, wellness center (open to the public), and more. General services are provided to the community including radiology, emergency medicine, inpatient and outpatient surgery, neurology, sleep studies, ophthalmology, orthopedics, oncology/hematology, otolaryngology, women's health and a full-range of therapy and rehabilitation services. Radiology services include CT, Vantage Orian MRI with Theater and Pianissimo noise reducing technology, ultrasound, nuclear medicine and 3-D digital mammography. We are extending care well beyond the doors of the hospital, offering alternative care options, emergency treatment of major and minor injuries and illness and preventive care and fitness programs. Pleasant Valley Hospital is truly a resource center for our community's healthcare needs.

Congratulations to our March Employee of the Month, Bret Keefer! 🎉

Bret, a Neurophysiology Technician in our Neurology Department, has been part of the Rivers Health team since July 2023 and was nominated by Dr. Owens for his outstanding customer service.

Known for his positive attitude and willingness to jump in wherever needed, Bret goes above and beyond his role- helping at the front desk, answering patient calls, and supporting both patients and coworkers with compassion and care. Patients and their families even ask for him by name, a true testament to the impact he makes every day.

Bret embodies what it means to be a team player, always bringing a “can-do” attitude and a commitment to excellence. We are lucky to have him at Rivers Health!

Outside of work, Bret lives in Point Pleasant with his wife, Laken, and they are excitedly expecting their first child this August.

👏 Thank you, Bret, for all you do!
