The closure of the 59-bed unit is part of the hospital’s transition to the West Virginia University Health System, according to the news release. A hearing to discuss the closure will be held June 15. Staff members are working to place residents in new facilities.

Morgantown-based WVU Medicine took over the hospital in January.
