Residency Program
Greenbrier Valley Medical Center has a rich history that is very much a part of the community it serves. Greenbrier General Hospital opened in 1907 in Ronceverte and the facility quickly began to play an indispensable role in the region’s development.
In 1974, a new 122 bed, comprehensive primary care facility was constructed at the facility’s current location. Today, Greenbrier Valley Medical Center provides quality patient care and exceptional service to thousands of people in southeastern West Virginia. The hospital is Greenbrier County’s second largest employer with more than 450 employees. Greenbrier Valley Medical Center serves as a teaching facility for the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine as well as several other institutions. The hospital hosts a family practice residency program and offers a wide array of medical, surgical, and outpatient services that are not typically available at rural hospitals.
Greenbrier Valley Medical Center was acquired by Triad Hospitals, Inc. on November 1, 2000. The facility then completed a $31 million dollar renovation and improvement project that includes:
- OR, PACU, and Day Surgery expansion and renovation
- New 12 bed ICU
- ER expansion
On July 25, 2007 Community Health Systems (CHS) finalized the merger of Triad Hospitals. Greenbrier Valley Medical Centercontinues to flourish and be constant in the care that we provide to the community.
In July 2010, CHS helped expand the Emergency Department and nearly doubled the square footage. This helped to have x-ray and lab in the ED. There are also private patient rooms that include a dedicated OB, Psych and decontamination room
