OhioHealth Physician Group, in partnership with OhioHealth Marion General Hospital, invested $8.7 million to renovate and relocate two clinics − one for heart and vascular and the other for primary care.

The clinics, both at 278 Barks Road W., opened Monday. The services will operate under one roof, making care convenient and accessible for residents of Marion County and surrounding areas.

The 28,000-square-foot OhioHealth-owned non-clinical building, formerly known as the Office and Conference Center, will increase OhioHealth’s capacity to provide care to more patients.

OhioHealth’s multi-million-dollar investment to renovate the medical office building at Barks Road is part of an ongoing mission to recruit physicians, especially in primary care. The new space will allow OhioHealth to recruit and bring in new providers.

OhioHealth Monday opened a new clinic at 278 Barks Road W. in Marion, providing primary care and heart and vascular services. The $8.7 million project will allow OhioHealth to increase its patient capacity.

“This project is necessary for the continued growth of the area by adding additional physicians and continuing to provide local/regional imaging, cardio-oncology, interventional, electrophysiology and vascular services for both Marion and surrounding counties,” said Kyle Feldmann, MD.

Two clinics, exam rooms, extra parking

The investment into the space included an interior renovation, a parking lot expansion and exterior building upgrades. The interior features a 10,000-square-foot Heart & Vascular Clinic with 12 providers and 27 exam rooms, as well as a 6,500-square-foot Primary Care Clinic with 16 exam rooms.

There are plans for the Primary Care Clinic to grow to have four physicians and two advance practice providers. In addition, there will be an imaging clinic for heart and vascular services with five cardiac testing rooms.

“This is a great example of OhioHealth’s continued investment in the vision and strategy of healthcare in Marion,” said Kim Crabtree, practice manager. “We are bringing value to the community and helping to keep care local for patients in and around Marion County.”

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on April 10.
