The financial counselors’ offices are on the ground floor in the Registration area in the lobby, close to the hospital entrance. Financial counselors are available weekdays from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. No appointment is necessary. To call the financial counselor from outside the hospital, dial 304-526-6099 or 304-526-6344. Patients may simply dial 6099 or 6344 from their rooms.
