OhioHealth Pickerington Methodist Hospital has begun work on an expansion of the emergency department (ED) and an additional inpatient unit.  The two-story, 57,000 square foot addition will add: 

  • 28 ED treatment rooms (bringing total to 44 treatment rooms) 
  • One additional ED resuscitation room (bringing total to two) 
  • One additional ED triage room (bringing total to two) 
  • Two ED intake rooms 

“We expanded from a medical campus to a hospital in 2023 and the support from the community has been tremendous,” says Kevin Lutz, DPM, president, Pickerington Methodist Hospital. “To continue to provide high-quality patient care for those who live and work in the area, we’ve realized we need to grow to meet the increasing demand for emergency and inpatient care.” 

The expansion is a $65 million continued investment in the Pickerington community. 

In fiscal year 2025, the emergency department saw just over 44,000 patients. 

Construction has begun with an anticipated opening in late 2028. Cannon Design is the project architect, and Messer Construction Co. is lead contractor.
