BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. (WBOY) — President and CEO of Mon Health and Davis Health Systems David Goldberg attended Wednesday's Harrison County Commission meeting to publicly share plans regarding a new Mon Health hospital coming to Harrison County.
In 2022, Mon Health announced it was approved for a Certificate of Need to build a 'small format hospital,' which Goldberg says will be very similar to the Mon Health Marion Neighborhood Hospital in White Hall.
'This'll be a 10-bed medical hospital with an eight-bay emergency room,' said Goldberg. 'It'll have on-site radiology, cat scan, MRI, have the ability for x-ray. It'll have all the medical services that you would have in a medical hospital.'
Goldberg told 12 News that Mon Health is planning to break ground on construction this coming Monday, April 7 as they've attained the necessary building permit from the City of Bridgeport. The hospital will be in the Charles Pointe plaza, adjacent to the Menard's hardware store, and is expected to be complete in the next year to year-and-a-half.

'Our project is about a little over a $30-million budget to be able to build the building,' said Goldberg. 'It'll be two stories: first story will be the hospital, second story will be a shelled in space for us to use in the future for further clinical or administrative duties.'
Mon Health conducted a needs analysis a couple of years ago, and Goldberg said the results showed that Harrison County has grown significantly and continues to do do.
'The local emergency room, as well as our Mon Marion Neighborhood Hospital emergency room has seen more and room Harrison County residents needing service,' he added.
Goldberg describes himself as a 'West Virginian by choice,' stating that he moved to West Virginia for undergrad and has remained in the Mountain State, bringing his family here.
'It's personal to me, no patient should have to wait for care,' said Goldberg. 'A patient's urgency or emergency is our urgency or emergency. So we wanna make sure we have the resources in place that can be financially viable, meet community need, provide services the community needs and grow with the community as they need us to.'
Goldberg said that Mon Health see upwards of 15,000 emergency room visits at its Marion County facility.
'We're keeping patients there, we monitor those beds for cardiac care. We'll do the same here in Harrison County,' he added.
Goldberg said that they expect the Mon Health Harrison Neighborhood Hospital to get busy very quickly because it's a growing community that deserves to have choice in healthcare.
