Marshall Health Network celebrates expansion of Teays Valley campus with ribbon cutting at new Teays Pavilion

SCOTT DEPOT, W.Va. — Marshall Health Network (MHN) marked the grand opening of its Teays Pavilion Tuesday, Aug. 19, with a ribbon cutting ceremony. Located at 100 Corporate Center Drive in Scott Depot, directly across from Marshall Health Network’s flagship facility in Putnam County, the Teays Pavilion expands access to specialized outpatient services.  

MHN renovated approximately 14,700 square feet to meet a growing demand for dermatology and neurology care. The Teays Pavilion also houses MHN’s occupational health and toxicology laboratory, bringing services including drug testing for pre-employment screens, controlled substance monitoring and environmental exposure to Putnam County for the first time. Marshall Health’s occupational medicine team also works alongside more than 70 businesses across the region to provide onsite and mobile medical services.  

“This Pavilion represents so much more than a building – it’s a symbol of growth, commitment and dedication to expanding Marshall Health Network’s reach in Putnam County,” said Beth L. Hammers, M.B.A., chief engagement officer for Marshall Health Network. “The result is a stronger academic health system that benefits not only our patients and the employers we serve, but also our students, faculty and health care teams—making this region an even more desirable place to live and work.” 

During the event, Scott Raynes, president and CEO of MHN, highlighted the Pavilion’s role in expanding care and supporting the local workforce, thanking the more than 75 providers and 135 care team members who deliver expert care on the Marshall Health – Teays Valley campus. 

David Gozal, M.D., M.B.A., Ph.D. (Hon), vice president for health affairs at Marshall University and dean of the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, emphasized the Pavilion’s future as a hub for academic excellence. In addition to serving as a clinical site for medical students and resident physicians, plans are underway to establish an academic Division of Medical Toxicology and a residency program, which would be the first of its kind in West Virginia. 

Since establishing a clinical presence in Putnam County in the early 1990s and the launch of its Teays Valley campus in 2017, Marshall Health Network has continued to emphasize access to care.  

In addition to cutting the ribbon today at the new Teays Pavilion, the ceremony included the unveiling of a commemorative plaque to recognize Congresswoman Carol D. Miller for her role in making the Pavilion possible and her commitment to strengthening healthcare throughout southern West Virginia.  

Congresswoman Miller spoke about how supporting this project is part of her commitment to supporting rural healthcare, expanding innovation and increasing educational opportunities for future medical providers.   

“I am overwhelmed by this show of gratitude,” Miller said. “I was happy to secure funding for this expansion because it improves access to care and ensures educational opportunities for tomorrow’s medical providers.” 

Community leaders and Marshall Health Network representatives gathered for the celebration, which included a ceremonial ribbon cutting, facility tours and meet and greet with providers.
