St. Joseph's Hospital - Buckhannon

Buckhannon is the county seat of Upshur County located in north central West Virginia, where gentle hills are separated by wide valleys. Rivers and streams flow through the valleys to create beauty and productive lands. North central West Virginia is also known as Mountaineer Country, a pleasing patchwork of old and new, high-tech and down-home, front-burner energy and back-porch relaxation. Start with the descendants of European immigrants who came in the last century to mine coal, lay railroads, cut timber, and build factories. Add the mountain bikers, hikers, rafters, kayakers, rock climbers, sportsmen, and nature lovers drawn by the region's mountains, rivers, forests, lakes, and trails. Mountaineer Country is also an ethnic melting pot, a center of learning, a treasury of history and a friendly home-away-from-home. Come see for yourself.
