The Virginia Department Of Health Has Received A Request From Ballad Health For Permission To Consolidate And Reorganize Services At Wise County And Norton’s Three Hospitals. If Approved ER, Surgery And In Patient Services At Mountain View Hospital In Norton Will Move To Lonesome Pine In Big Stone Gap, Norton Community Hospital Will Continue To Offer Those Services And Mountain View Will Offer Long Term Care And Behavioral Health Services. Ballad Says The Changes Will Improve Health Care By Keeping Medical Teams In One Location Instead Of Traveling Between Hospitals.
