Patients seeking surgical care in the Eastern Panhandle can now return to the operating rooms of the Berkeley Medical Center in Martinsburg.
In late May, a construction mishap caused extensive flooding in the facility’s 10 inpatient operating rooms, forcing their indefinite closure and temporarily suspending non-emergency medical services. Patients were referred to other nearby hospitals like the Jefferson Medical Center in the town of Ranson.
But WVU Medicine, which operates the facility, announced Monday that Berkeley Medical has now resumed its full surgical operations.
Two of the facility’s operating rooms reopened June 28, two more reopened July 3, and an additional four operating rooms reopened July 15.
The operating rooms reopened after an inspection from the West Virginia Department of Health last week, WVU Medicine said in a Monday press release.
The hospital will continue to work with other hospitals to coordinate patient services in the weeks ahead, WVU Medicine said.
