The upgrades include construction of a new primary care facility and corporate administration building as well as improvements to the emergency department at OhioHealth Shelby Hospital and a bed-privatization effort at Marion (Ohio) General Hospital.
“Our objective is to provide the right level of care as close to the patient as possible,” Jeffery Alexander, vice president-treasury for OhioHealth told the Mansfield News Journal. “Rather than building one large, new hospital or new tower, there are a number of smaller projects that will help execute our strategy.”
The upgrades will be financed through hospital revenue bonds issued by Franklin County.
