Bluefield Regional Medical Center

What Bluefield Regional Medical Center does

Bluefield Regional Medical Center operates as a regional medical center in southern West Virginia, branded as WVU Medicine Princeton Community Hospital. The hospital runs a 203-bed acute care facility in Princeton, a 64-bed psychiatric hospital, and an emergency room and outpatient services facility in Bluefield. A network of seven primary care clinics, eleven specialty clinics, and three rural imaging clinics extends care across a 10-county region, supported by 420 physicians and mid-level providers including board-certified psychiatrists. As a core subsidiary of West Virginia University Health System (WVU Medicine), the hospital is integrated into the state's leading academic medical network with access to WVU School of Medicine specialists and WVU Cancer Institute services.

The business model is fee-for-service healthcare delivery billed through insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay, augmented by financial assistance programs. Patient acquisition occurs through digital channels including Find a Doctor and Find a Service directories, MyWVUChart patient portal, online appointment booking, and virtual care options, while specialty referrals flow through the WVU Medicine academic network. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Operating as a nonprofit under WVU Health System governance, the hospital functions as a regional referral hub for academic-grade specialty care in a rural market where competitive alternatives require long-distance travel.

The entity is wholly owned by West Virginia University Health System, with Princeton Community Hospital and the Behavioral Health Center listed as core operating subsidiaries. Founded circa 2015 through integration into the WVU Medicine network, the hospital serves as the leading healthcare provider in the two Virginias, with recent strategic moves including the addition of a medical oncologist and extension of WVU Cancer Institute scalp-cooling services to the regional site.
