The opening of a new 10-story, 114-bed hospital tower in January 2017 will create at least 750 jobs. Deveran George, WVU Medicine human resource manager, said the health system is already starting to look for employees to add to its ranks.
“We know that it’s not too early to start hiring for those expansions,” said Ms. George. “It takes time to orient and train new employees.”
Additional employees will also be needed to support a new outpatient surgery center in Fairmont, W.Va.
WVU Medicine is hosting an open interview event May 2 to find approximately 500 new workers, according to the report.
“Folks can be interviewed on the spot for opportunities or even for those just wanting to learn more about a potential career with WVU Medicine, we’ll have folks there onsite to talk through that process,” said Ms. George, according to the report.
