PCH and BRMC May Compete in Regional Cancer Center
Griffith said the next PCH board meeting is Aug. 31 and Princeton continues pursuing a cancer center in West Virginia and Virginia, with CON and COPN applications. She noted BRMC’s shared ownership proposal remains uncertain and DOJ guidance will decide if both hospitals proceed. Cancer services are available locally, with inpatient care and outpatient chemotherapy provided by PCH, which is accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer.

BRMC pursues cancer center amid aging equipment and DOJ probe
Griffith notes Princeton is still pursuing its own cancer center applications in West Virginia and Virginia. O’Neal describes BRMC’s 14 year old linear accelerator as “shot,” cutting radiation referrals and patient volume. BRMC has purchased HealthQuest for 200000, with attorney fees driving costs, as it weighs jointly funded plans with PCH vs Princeton. DOJ investigations affect Bluefield’s open heart center and BRMC’s finances, prompting staff cuts and cost reductions while officials pledge transparency.
