Design work that has been ongoing for a new 65,000-square-foot hospital to be located on the site of the present Adena Fayette Medical Center in Washington Court House is nearly complete and the health system plans to break ground and begin construction on the two-year building project around mid-year of 2025. 

Once completed, the new, modern facility will provide several opportunities to further build upon the care already provided at Adena Fayette Medical Center. 

For example, the technology and additional operating room space being integrated into the new hospital will enhance the ability to perform precision robotic-assisted surgical procedures. Addition of a progressive care unit will provide flexibility in responding to fluctuating patient volumes and care needs, integrating telemetry units into the infrastructure will advance the scope of care, while having a dedicated trauma room will provide immediate, specialized care for critical cases. 

Several departments will see enhanced services as the result of the new hospital construction, including OB/GYN, surgical services, endoscopy, orthopedics, gastroenterology and more.
