Steubenville, Ohio –August 18, 2025 Trinity Health System is pleased to announce the grand opening of its brand-new location, the St. Clairsville Neighborhood Hospital on Monday, Aug. 18, 2025, at 8 a.m.

Vertical care is more popular these days in ERs because so many cases require patients be be vertical instead of horizontal.

Six inpatient rooms, including one equipped to provide intensive care, and two operating rooms will be available to serve individuals requiring extended or surgical care.

This new location will also offer a range of supportive services to care for the whole person, including laboratory testing, advanced imaging, and specialized spaces for patients with unique needs. These specialized spaces include a room designed with bariatric patients in mind, and another room set aside for behavioral health care within the emergency department.

These specialized spaces reflect CommonSpirit Health’s deep commitment to dignity, equity, and personalized care.

Trinity Health System’s new ‘microhospital’ in St. Clairsville is a facility that will feature a pair of operating room suites.

“For many in the St. Clairsville area, access to timely emergency services has been a challenge, often requiring travel across the Ohio River,” Dwayne Richardson, president of Twin City Medical Center and Regional Operations, said. “By establishing this facility along National Road, we are working to bridge that gap—bringing high-quality, life-saving care close to home.”

“The need for this hospital location has become even more urgent following the closure of East Ohio Regional Hospital in Martins Ferry,” Laurie Labishak, Market Director, Trinity Health System, said. “While nearby hospitals in Wheeling and Barnesville continue to provide vital support, the addition of this new facility will expand capacity and provide local residents with another trusted place to turn in times of need.”

There are many areas of Trinity’s new facility in St. Clairsville that appear to be inside a full-sized medical facility.

To enhance care delivery, the hospital will also feature a helicopter landing zone for emergency air transport and utilize telehealth robotics throughout the facility—ensuring that expertise, connection, and compassionate care are always within reach.

“At its heart, this new hospital location reflects our mission to serve with spirit and purpose—advancing health equity and healing across every zip code we serve,” Richardson said.
