A local hospital is welcoming a new member to its leadership team.

Lynn McCormick has joined St. Joseph's hospital as Chief Operating Officer.

McCormick is a native of the area and has most recently been the Chief Executive Officer at Sistersville General Hospital in Sistersville, West Virginia.

“I am excited about joining St. Joseph’s Hospital because of its focus on patient care and quality,” McCormick shared. “Not only does St. Joseph’s have quality programs, like its open-heart surgery and angioplasty program, but they have a great team of employees and physicians to care for the patients in the Mid-Ohio Valley. I look forward to working with the team at St. Joseph’s.”
