Hardy County Committee on Aging signs 10-year contract to bring dialysis center to Moorefield
Summary
The Hardy County Committee on Aging signed a 10-year contract with Fresenius Kidney Care to open a dialysis center in Moorefield, with the center projected to begin operations in January 2026, the commission was told Nov. 4.
Mike Crites, executive director of the Hardy County Committee on Aging, told the Pendleton County Commission on Nov. 4 that the committee has signed a 10-year contract with Fresenius Kidney Care to establish a dialysis center in Moorefield. The committee expects the center to open in January 2026.
The announcement came during the commission’s regular meeting at the Pendleton County Courthouse. Crites said the contract is in place but did not provide financial terms or permitting details during the report. No formal county action was recorded on the item at the Nov. 4 meeting.
County leaders and residents have pushed in recent years for closer access to dialysis services in the region; the Moorefield site is intended to reduce travel burdens for patients who now travel out of the county for regular treatments. The commission’s minutes list the projected opening month but do not specify licensing, staffing or reimbursement arrangements.
The commission did not set a permitting or oversight requirement at the meeting. Next steps identified in the report were preparatory: contract execution with Fresenius Kidney Care and operational planning toward the January 2026 opening.
