FAIRMONT â Members of Fairmont City Council are now up-to-date on a new hospital being built at Middletown Commons.
President and CEO of Mon Health David Goldberg told council members Tuesday that Marion Neighborhood Hospital is on target to open by Christmas at the former shopping mall. At a cost of $15 million, the hospital will have eight private emergency rooms and 10 patient beds.
