Wheeling Hospital Construction Underway
WEST VIRGINIA....
Wheeling Hospital has begun construction of a $50 million, seven-story tower which is expected to create about 250 construction jobs, and, once completed, add almost 50 employees to the staff at the hospital which currently employs 2,400 workers. Chief Executive Ronald Violi says the new two-year project will accommodate growth and attract more professionals with narrow specialties, allowing residents to stay in the region for treatment. The tower is expected to house a new emergency department, intensive care and cardiovascular intensive care units and the pediatrics center, among other things.
