Buffalo anchors CAMC Teays Valley Hospital (193 beds, Charleston Area Medical Center), Putnam General Hospital (Hurricane), Putnam County EMS, Buffalo Fire Department, and the I‑64/US‑35 corridor linking Charleston, Huntington, and Point Pleasant. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #7256 at 3707 Buffalo Road keeps CAMC Teays Valley OR suites, Putnam General teams, Putnam County EMS, and Kanawha Valley partners stocked without waiting on Charleston or Huntington depots.
Within 20 miles are CAMC Teays Valley Hospital, Putnam General Hospital, I‑64, US‑35, Hurricane (6,200), Winfield (2,300), and the Kanawha Valley region.
