Columbus, Ohio-based Nationwide Children's Hospital and OhioHealth, also in Columbus, are partnering to offer two separate full service emergency departments at the Lewis Center outside Columbus, according to The Morrow County Sentinel.
The ED services at the facility will include CT, MRI, ultrasound and X-ray technology, eight private patient rooms, resuscitation and triage rooms and a number of other services provided at traditional ED facilities. The location will also house OhioHealth's first freestanding pediatric emergency department, according to the article.
The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
"We are proud to partner with OhioHealth to deliver the highest quality healthcare in a convenient location in Lewis Center to better meet the needs of children and adults in this growing region," said Patty McClimon, senior vice president of strategic and facilities planning at Nationwide Children's Hospital.
"This collaboration with Nationwide Children's Hospital is a new concept to central Ohio that places emergency care for the entire family in the same building," said Steve Markovich, MD, senior vice president of central Ohio operations at OhioHealth.
