Shenandoah County healthcare and social assistance employment sector is the second-largest in the County (behind manufacturing) and one of the fastest growing sectors (27%) since 2010. This trend follows regional and national growth as healthcare needs continue to expand as the Baby Boomer generation continues to enter their Golden Years. Further, the County’s strong growth in persons 65 years old and above contributes to this increase in healthcare employment locally. Local healthcare provision is largely driven by Shenandoah Memorial Hospital (SMH) located in Woodstock. However, there are several other smaller providers and specialty social assistance venues (i.e. the Skyline Terrace Nursing Home) located throughout the County and each of its small towns.
