The City of Princeton and the Board of Directors of the Princeton Community Hospital Association approved a definitive agreement with the WVU Health System, clearing the way for PCH to become fully integrated into the system.
PCH entered into a management agreement and clinical affiliation with WVU Hospitals in December 2020, and in October 2021, a letter of intent was signed for the WVU Health System to become the sole member of PCH.
PCH President and CEO Karen Bowling said, “Regulatory steps were taken when the certificate of need was approved earlier this year. The last step in the process of full affiliation is the definitive agreement. That enables Princeton Community Hospital to become a full member of the WVU Health System. The agreement outlines the responsibilities of the System, including the fact that the hospital will remain in Princeton and a local board of directors will remain in place to advise as we move forward to develop the strategies to enhance healthcare services in the region.” Read more.
