Increasing access to additional healthcare services, OhioHealth announces the investment to expand OhioHealth Pickerington Medical Campus by converting it into a hospital.
Through this expansion, OhioHealth aims to work with the City of Pickerington to ensure the evolving needs of the community are met.
“From the moment we broke ground, we knew the Pickerington Medical Campus was only the beginning of our commitment to Pickerington and nearby communities,” says Dr. Kevin Lutz, DPM, president of OhioHealth Grove City Methodist Hospital and accountable executive for the Westerville and Pickerington Medical Campuses and Freestanding Emergency Department Network.
“Since our opening in 2015, we have expanded to open a Short Stay Unit, purchased the adjacent medical office building, created strong partnerships with local schools, actively participate in the Chamber and sponsor local events,” says Dr. Lutz.
“As we continue to learn more about the healthcare needs of the community, we recognize there are additional services we could provide and now is the time to strengthen and deepen our commitment,” says Dr. Lutz.
OhioHealth plans to keep all current services on the campus in operation for the duration of the construction, including the Pickerington Emergency Care Center, which has become one of the busiest freestanding emergency departments in the OhioHealth system.
