Securing healthcare networks is no small task. With a wide array of mobile devices, medical equipment, diverse operating systems, and legacy applications in use, maintaining security without disrupting patient care is a constant challenge. With data breaches reaching record levels, strong network protection is no longer optional—it’s essential.

Securing your healthcare network starts with a strong, private foundation. That’s where Shentel Business comes in. Our EP-LAN and EVP-LAN Fiber Ethernet solutions offer flexible connectivity—whether point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, or fully meshed. With built-in redundancy, geographic diversity, and scalable high-speed performance, you get a dedicated Ethernet network tailored to your needs.

To ensure secure and seamless data transfers, your network needs to connect every location— whether across town or across state lines. For decades, Shentel Business has delivered reliable healthcare connectivity to providers across both rural and urban communities in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.

Shentel Business builds networks purposefully engineered for the unique demands of the healthcare industry. Instead of forcing your systems onto outdated infrastructure, we create custom fiber solutions from the ground up. With decades of experience, we've empowered rural healthcare providers with fast, secure, and high-quality connectivity they can count on.

“Shentel Business has been our primary fiber partner for many years. They have provided high-quality, robust service to our facilities, which allows our organization to maintain a high-availability network in a rural community that rivals the services provided in large urban areas. The criticality of this type of service in a healthcare organization cannot be understated and remains one of the top reasons we continue to partner with Shentel Business.” – Kristine B., Holzer Health System

With over 16,000 miles of fiber-optic cable installed, Shentel Business has built a powerful network connecting schools, businesses, and healthcare facilities across the region—delivering near-limitless speed and performance.

For healthcare providers with multiple locations spread across a wide area, a fiber-optic network offering seamless connectivity and secure medical record sharing was exactly the solution Hopewell needed.

By linking Hopewell Health Centers’ offices with Shentel Business’ fiber-optic network, data transfer speeds soared from 5 Mbps to 100 Mbps. This upgrade enables all 15 healthcare clinics to efficiently share medical records across the network while streamlining their daily operations.

With the fiber network in place, Hopewell Health Centers has embraced VoIP phone services, utilized video conferencing, and expanded their healthcare offerings to reach a larger patient community.

“With video conferencing, we can offer more mental health counseling to our patients because they can connect with psychologists and psychiatrists who have offices further away. We’ve been able to open new offices without having to worry about our time being eaten up by tech issues. Our people can just focus on their jobs. And we’re getting better service at less cost than we were before.

They understand our challenges. It’s a refreshing change from when you usually have to speak with service providers who are outside the region, live elsewhere and just don’t get it. Now when Hopewell considers a new office, it gets Shentel Business involved at step one.” – Mark Bridenbaugh, CEO of Hopewell Health Centers

Shentel Business’ extensive fiber-optic network—spanning over 16,000 miles—connects government offices, businesses, schools, nonprofits, financial organizations, and healthcare providers, delivering dependable, high-performance internet and integrated communication solutions.

Shentel Business has played a key role in supporting the Southern Ohio Health Care Network (SOHCN) is a coalition of rural healthcare providers representing over 350 facilities across Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Approved by the FCC, SOHCN enhances quality care and telehealth services while leveraging collective purchasing to secure competitive pricing and robust service agreements.

Extending access to fiber broadband is essential to maintaining and expanding SOHCN’s service capabilities. In 2021, SOHCN renewed its Master Service Agreement with Shentel Business—a partnership dating back to 2009—to continue benefiting from Shentel’s top-tier Metro Ethernet services, known for their exceptional redundancy, network diversity, and performance.
