Mount Carmel Health System will be closing the Mount Carmel West Hospital inpatient services in Franklinton, but will invest 700 million dollars by building a hospital in Grove City as well as expanding Mount Carmel East over the next four years.  The Mount Carmel West Hospital will maintain the 24/7 emergency department, but the hospital will shift to outpatient care.  The Grove City hospital is expected to fully open in 2018, and the Mount Carmel West inpatient services will be transitioned to the Grove City Hospital location.

Mount Carmel Grove City will be the first hospital below Interstate 70 in that rapidly growing south part of the Columbus metropolitan area.  The $310 million modernization for Mount Carmel East will start in the spring of 2015 and end in 2019.  This modernization will include a new 5-story patient care tower, Mount Carmel’s level II trauma program that provides critical access to the eastern half of central Ohio, and almost 400 all-private rooms.
