Here are some stories you may have missed on Dispatch.com and in the Columbus Dispatch newspaper.
Grant Medical Center’s new OhioHealth Grant Family Medicine downtown location is now open for patient care, the hospital system announced Monday.
The opening marks the first completed project in OhioHealth’s $400 million expansion of downtown’s only adult hospital and fourth busiest hospital in central Ohio.
The 33,000 square-foot building now resides on East State Street, directly across from the main medical center entrance. It contains 50 patient rooms, two community education spaces, Grant’s “transition of care” clinic and offers clinical learning for 36 family medicine resident physicians.
Primary care is available for all ages through the clinic, from pregnant women to infants to elderly individuals, and services include wellness exams, chronic disease management, behavioral health support, sports medicine, women’s health services and more. Walk-in services as needed are also welcome.
“Our physicians and advanced practice providers create a space that values and supports every patient,” said Alysia Herzog, MD, residency program director for Grant Family Medicine. “We specialize in caring for the entire family through all phases of life. This new location will allow us to continue to deliver compassionate, comprehensive and personalized care to patients and families with expanded services to better meet the needs of our community.”
Big drop in a bigger downtown Columbus bucket
The family medicine clinic’s old site on East Town Street will house the new 270,000 square foot trauma center. The old building and parking garage will start being demolished later this month so the new construction can begin.
As a whole, OhioHealth’s 310,000 square-foot renovation of the downtown area is expected to be completed by 2028. It includes a new medical office building, a five-story parking garage and the new seven-story trauma center housing a new emergency department, trauma bays, 160 patient rooms and two levels of underground parking.
