OhioHealth is opening its fifteenth hospital, OhioHealth Pickerington Methodist Hospital. The hospital was built on over 30 acres of undeveloped land on-site, expanding from the northern side of the current campus.  This hospital will bring new services, such as labor and delivery, trauma and infusion services to the community.
