Morrow County Hospital will become Columbus-based OhioHealth’s 16th full member hospital in January. The move comes after nearly 40 years of OhioHealth managing Morrow County Hospital.
“We have partnered with Morrow County Hospital for nearly 40 years and have a shared culture and mission to keep care local, which makes this strengthened relationship a logical next step,” OhioHealth President and CEO Steve Markovich, MD, said in a July 24 news release.
In the past 19 months, OhioHealth has acquired two hospitals — Van Wert (Ohio) Hospital and Southeastern Medical Center in Cambridge — and opened Pickerington Methodist Hospital.
Morrow County Hospital will be the fourth addition in a two-year span.
