Cabell Huntington Hospital's commitment is to be a superior service provider to both patients and healthcare partners. We understand the importance of accepting patients from other hospitals and sincerely appreciate those who refer patients to our care. A Patient Transfer Center has been established to significantly elevate our level of service when processing patient transfer requests. With just one convenient phone number to call for adult and pediatric patients and 24/7 servicing capability from a highly qualified staff, our goal is to seamlessly streamline the transfer process from patient acceptance to patient discharge.

The Cabell Huntington Hospital Patient Transfer Center is easy to use. Referring facilities simply call 1-877-531-2CHH (2244) for around-the-clock assistance from our dedicated team of experienced critical care nurses who serve as patient transfer coordinators. The patient transfer coordinator will then coordinate acceptance of the patient at our facility, arrange transportation and provide updates to the sending facility.

As an added service, referring physicians are invited to experience the convenience of tracking patients through Cabell Huntington Hospital's CARE Connect program. CARE Connect is a free service that offers non-staff physicians the ability to remotely access CHH's electronic health records system and secure their patients' lab reports, radiology reports, consult reports and discharge summaries. For more information about this service, please call Business Development Director Jack Taylor at (304) 526-6365.
