New Marshall University Byrd Clinical Center Opens June 2007
The clinical addition of Marshall University’s Robert C.
Byrd Center for Rural Health opened its doors to patients June 4 on the
heritage-rich site of the former Fairfield Stadium.
Now known as the Byrd Clinical enter, the building will be named during its
formal dedication ceremony later this year.
Located at 1249 15th Street in Huntington, the center houses two departments of
Marshall University’s Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine: Internal Medicine and
Cardiovascular Services. Cardiovascular Services will have a new phone number --
(304) 691‑8500 -- but numbers will remain the same for Internal Medicine,
including the Hanshaw Geriatric Center and the Diabetes Center.
The top three floors of the $24 million, 88,000-square-foot building will
contain exam and treatment space. The ground floor has special teaching
facilities for medical students. The center is expected to accommodate 250
patient visits per day.
The new building was funded through a federal appropriation secured by U.S. Sen.
