Columbus-based Ohio Health is opening its 15th hospital, OhioHealth Pickerington (Ohio) Methodist Hospital, on Dec. 6.
The hospital was built on the OhioHealth Pickerington Medical Campus, according to a Nov. 27 OhioHealth news release. It is adding services including labor and delivery, trauma and infusion services, sports medicine and cancer care.
The hospital features 96 inpatient beds, six operating rooms, two procedure rooms, labor and delivery with special care nursery, a 20-bay infusion clinic and a 12-bed intensive care/acuity adaptable unit.
The Pickerington Emergency Care Center — one of OhioHealth's busiest freestanding emergency departments — remains on site, but it will no longer be considered a freestanding ED as it is now part of the hospital, according to the release.
