Kansas City-based healthcare real estate group Monument Healthcare Development in partnership with University Hospitals has announced the development of a health campus in Amherst, Ohio.
This is the first major development project in western Loraine County and is being considered by city leaders as a gateway to expansion and economic growth.
The campus will include two buildings, one a state-of-the-art ambulatory surgery center that will house five operating rooms and one procedure room. In addition, six recovery-focused Stay Suites will be in the same building as the ASC as part of the Muve program, a value-based surgical care program offered by ValueHealth.
The ASC will focus on orthopedic surgical procedures, with the capacity for 800 total joint replacement cases per year. The facility will also provide general orthopedic, spine, ear, nose and throat, and pain management services on-site.
Following approvals from the City of Amherst, the UH Amherst campus plans to break ground in November of 2022.
In addition to the ASC, the new UH Amherst health campus will feature a medical office building to house physicians and other providers across a variety of medical and surgical specialties and other ancillary services. These new developments are in partnership with civil design firm CTL Engineering, architectural firm ESa and J.E. Dunn Construction Company.
