wmc history

1953 weirton medical center (then weirton general hospital) was founded in 1953 by a group of community leaders in the city of weirton. The hospital was initially located in the weircrest addition of weirton, north of the city.

1978 a new facility, renamed weirton medical center, was built on a 20-acre campus located near the us route 22 corridor adjacent to the west virginia/pennsylvania border. The late michael starvaggi, president of starvaggi industries, donated the land for the current facility.

1987 the hospital converted 23 inpatient beds to create a 23-bed skilled care unit. This unit was expanded to 33 beds in 1996. In 1992, the hospital created a 20-bed psychiatric unit.

1995 the hospital undertook a
*** million outpatient renovation, which modified the existing main floor of the facility into a centralized outpatient center. In 2002, weirton medical center completed construction of a
*** million four-story medical office complex annexing the main hospital.
