| A four year battle between Parkersburg's two hospitals - Camden-Clark and St. Joseph - over which facility will provide open heart surgery was decided yesterday.
The West Virginia Health Care Authority has granted St. Joseph's Hospital the right to develop a unit and perform open-heart surgery.
Authority chairman Sonia Chambers will make the official announcement Thursday afternoon at St. Joseph's.
St. Joseph's is a for-profit hospital and
Camden-Clark is a not-for-profit hospital.
