Williamson (W.V.) Memorial Hospital was acquired by Williamson Health & Wellness Center after it closed in April 2020, according to the report. Since the acquisition, the company has invested millions of dollars into the facility, including fully renovating the building and adding new equipment, and new air-quality and electrical systems. 

The license from the West Virginia Office of Health Facility Licensure & Certification will also allow the hospital, where about 50 employees are already working, to provide 24-hour inpatient medical and nursing care, according to the report. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
