Pickerington Surgery Center and the medical office building are adjacent to the health system’s freestanding emergency department and medical office building. The hospital operates the center as a joint venture with physicians.

The multispecialty center performs gastroenterology, general surgery, orthopedics, pain management, spine and urology services, among others.

The health system plans to build a hospital at its Pickerington campus to expand services to the community. The hospital will be OhioHealth’s 13th, but the system does not have any details on the size, cost or design of the facility.

Brian Jepson, OhioHealth’s president of Central Ohio, said to the publication: “If you look at our entire freestanding network, the Pickerington location is the busiest. As we’ve added services, we’ve just continued to grow.”
