| − | ===History===
| |
| − | Established in 1899 for the purpose of treating persons injured in mining accidents, by 1960 the hospital had evolved into the Fairmont Emergency Hospital; the primary source of patrons was other West Virginia state institutions. Included were the Industrial School for Boys at Prunytown, the Industrial School for Girls at Salem, the West Virginia Training School at St. Marys, the Children's Home at Elkins, Huttonsville State Prison, [[Spencer State Hospital]], [[Weston State Hospital]], [[Barboursville State Hospital]], [[Lakin State Hospital]], and the Forestry Camp at Davis. There was no charge for these cases, though the hospital did accept some paying maternity and surgical cases. In 1960 the hospital was still operating at a profit. Not to be mistaken for Fairmont General Hospital, a public hospital in operation since 1939.
