Fairmont Medical Center

Fairmont Medical Center, located at 1325 Locust Avenue in the heart of Fairmont, West Virginia, provides exceptional skilled nursing care under the trusted umbrella of WVU Medicine — one of the most respected healthcare networks in the Mountain State. As part of this nationally recognized system, residents and families can expect evidence-based clinical care, seamless coordination with specialists, and a genuine commitment to whole-person wellness. Fairmont is the county seat of Marion County and sits along the Tygart Valley River, offering a warm small-city atmosphere with deep community roots. Seniors and families choosing Fairmont Medical Center benefit from a location that balances medical access with the comforts of a close-knit West Virginia community. The facility's Locust Avenue address places it within easy reach of local essentials — from the Middletown Commons shopping area and the Walmart Supercenter on Morgantown Avenue, to beloved local dining spots like Muriale's Italian Kitchen, a Fairmont institution since 1969. Nature and recreation are never far away. Prickett's Fort State Park, just a short drive north along the Monongalia River corridor, offers peaceful outdoor scenery and historical interest for family visits. Tygart Lake State Park to the south provides another scenic retreat.
