Ohio Health Strategic Facility Planning

Multiple campus planning studies offer system-wide improvements

Since 1997, OhioHealth and Christner have teamed for strategic facility planning of multiple community hospitals. There are three main OhioHealth campuses in Columbus: Riverside Methodist Hospital, a 1049-bed suburban community hospital; Grant Medical Center, a 467-bed downtown hospital; and Doctors Hospital, a 194-bed historically osteopathic community hospital. Each campus has its own set of issues and challenges that were addressed in the context of system-wide operational goals. We also developed strategic facility plans for Gallon and Bucyrus Community Hospitals.
