It contains acute and trauma rooms, imaging and lab services, and specialty doctors will rotate between the Ironton Campus and Huntington Campus.[7][8]
In 2014, St. Mary's signed a definitive merger agreement with Cabell Huntington Hospital, forming Mountain Health Network (now known as Marshall Health Network).[9]
