Marshall Health Network (system)
Marshall Health Network is a West Virginia–based not-for-profit academic health system affiliated with the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, comprising Cabell Huntington Hospital (303 beds), St. Mary's Medical Center (413 beds), Hoops Family Children's Hospital (72 beds), and Rivers Health (101 acute-care beds). In July 2025 MHN created a new system-level VP of Facilities & Support Services role overseeing maintenance, construction, clinical engineering, safety, food services, and environmental services — a structural step toward coordinated facilities and environmental management. No public quantitative climate or waste targets are disclosed yet.
