Marshall Health, the faculty practice plan of the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, recently renovated the 51,000-square-foot building into clinical offices, merging three of its existing Hurricane offices into one location and increasing Marshall Health’s capacity to bring additional services to Teays Valley.
Both events are free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.marshallhealth.org or call 304-691-6800.
