Donations and grants fuel major patient care upgrade at Barnesville Hospital
A combination of community support and grants helped WVU Medicine Barnesville Hospital acquire nearly $500,000 in new telemetry monitoring equipment for its emergency room and medical-surgical units, with additional upgrades planned for the operating room and progressive care units. The advanced technology continuously tracks vital signs such as heart rhythms, blood pressure, breathing rates and oxygen levels, giving caregivers real-time information and alerting them to life-threatening changes that require immediate attention, according to a community announcement. Hospital leaders say the new equipment will improve the care of patients experiencing serious conditions such as chest pain, heart arrhythmias, strokes, blood clots and fluid in the lungs. The monitors also feature smart alarms, predictive algorithms and sepsis alerts, helping clinical teams identify and respond to critical conditions more quickly while improving efficiency in patient monitoring. Funding for the new equipment began with year-end giving campaigns in 2024 and 2025 and was boosted by grants from The Foundation for a Better World and The Antero Foundation. Additional contributions came from individuals, families and businesses, including a major donation from Dr. Pratap Souri and memorial gifts honoring Clara Groves and John Sawvel. Together, those donations and grants totaled $243,153. “We are happy to support
