Last Wednesday, May 7, Trinity Health System hosted “Hard Hat” tours of our new St. Clairsville Neighborhood Hospital.
Our thanks to the media organizations who went on these tours (and to those who brought their own hard hats!). Below is a sampling of the coverage, along with links to the entire pieces.

The Intelligencer/Wheeling News-Register: Trinity Health System’s New St. Clairsville Facility Nearing Completion by Josie Burkhart
The Trinity Health System St. Clairsville Hospital is still on track to open in July, providing the local community with not only basic care, but emergency care as well.
Dwayne Richardson, president of the hospital, toured the new facility along with others Wednesday. It is in its final stages of construction and expected to be ready to open by the targeted date of July 21. Still, Richardson said he is always evaluating the “what ifs?”
The hospital will be a 20,000-square-foot acute care service facility with two stories and 10 emergency rooms, two of which will be trauma rooms along with three fast track rooms on the second floor, six inpatient rooms including one intensive care room and two operating rooms. Other departments will also be in the hospital, ranging from laboratory services to high-end imaging services.
It will also have a room geared toward bariatric patients and another room dedicated to behavioral health patients within an emergency room.

WTOV: New hospital to open in St. Clairsville, filling healthcare void by Jesse Cain
Local officials were impressed by the tour.
“I was blown away,” St. Clairsville Mayor Kathryn Thalman said. “The attention to detail, the number of surgical suites, the patient care and treatment rooms, this is going to fill a huge void in our city as well as our valley.”
The 20,000-square-foot, two-story building is nearing completion and will be the first hospital to open in the city.

WTRF: Trinity Health System’s St. Clairsville facility to feature ER, surgeries, and AI technology by D.K. Wright
They’re not a trauma hospital, but they can accept those emergencies.
Actually if someone is in an ATV rollover, a car accident, kicked by a cow, all of those things could become trauma. So we actually design and placed the trauma room.” – Dwayne Richardson, Hospital President, Trinity Health System
They will offer five categories of surgery: general, orthopedic, ear, nose and throat, gynecology, and urology.
Every ER and exam room has natural daylight.
One exam room is for behavioral crises.
So, right here at the nurse’s station, I can have eyes on a behavioral health patient.
Their cat scan equipment is state of the art, one of the first using AI in the valley.
Their decon room, accessible from the outside, can treat anyone contaminated with chemicals or even bed bugs.
