Roanoke Lynchburg, VA, November 5, 2026 — Greenbrier Valley Medical Center in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, is set to reopen its maternity ward, restoring vital labor and delivery services to the region. The announcement of this significant development was made by West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey.

The reopening is made possible through a new agreement between Vandalia Health and the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM). This collaboration aims to enhance healthcare accessibility and services within the community.

Additionally, the initiative is bolstered by a substantial financial contribution, with a nearly $4 million award from the Rural Health Transformation Program. This funding is designated to support the revitalization and operation of the maternity ward, ensuring its sustainability and capacity to serve patients.

The restoration of these services is anticipated to address a critical need for obstetric care in Greenbrier County, providing expectant mothers with local options for childbirth and postpartum support. Further details regarding the timeline for the ward’s reopening and the specific scope of services were not provided in the announcement.
