WVU Medicine Uniontown Hospital

What WVU Medicine Uniontown Hospital does

WVU Medicine Uniontown Hospital is a nonprofit community hospital located at 500 W. Berkeley Street in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, operating as part of the West Virginia University Health System. Founded in 1931, the hospital serves Fayette County and surrounding Western Pennsylvania communities, employing more than 1,000 individuals and over 300 medical staff across more than 30 medical specialties. Its service portfolio spans a 24-hour Emergency Room, primary care, specialty care (Spine Care, Orthopedics, Neurology & Stroke, Urology, Cardiac & Vascular), a newly renovated Birthing Center, occupational medicine, and inpatient rehabilitation, surgical, diagnostic imaging, laboratory, and intensive care services.

The hospital's technology stack is anchored in WVU Medicine's enterprise electronic health record system and the MyWVUChart patient portal, which enables online scheduling, telehealth visits, medical record access, and bill payment. A notable technical addition is an AI retinal screening capability that uses computer vision to analyze fundus photographs for early detection of diabetic retinopathy. Through its affiliation with WVU Medicine, Uniontown Hospital extends into subspecialty resources such as the Heart and Vascular Institute, Reynolds Neurology Institute, and Golisano Children's Hospital for pediatric and neonatal care.

WVU Medicine Uniontown Hospital generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service payments from patients, private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and other government programs across emergency, inpatient, outpatient, and specialty services. Supplemental funding includes government grants — notably a $750,000 Appalachian Regional Commission grant awarded in April 2024 to reopen the obstetrical unit — and financial assistance/sliding-scale programs required under its nonprofit community benefit obligations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; patients access cost estimates via the hospital's Cost & Charges page or billing department. Distribution is direct to patients through on-site care, the Find a Doctor physician referral network, MyWVUChart digital channels, and system-level referrals within the WVU Medicine network, with emerging employer-facing occupational medicine services in the Eastern Panhandle.
