Ohio Valley will continue offering inpatient and outpatient surgical services at its 100 W. Main St. location.
“This partnership reflects Mercy Health’s ongoing commitment to improving access to care for the communities we serve,” said Adam Groshans, Mercy Health – Springfield president. “Together, we are energized by the opportunity to strengthen our presence in Springfield and ensure patients have access to high-quality care close to home.”
Interim Ohio Valley CEO Mendy Williams said the merger will allow the hospital to expand access to the community.
“We are excited about the opportunities this collaboration brings to enhance services and maintain the personalized care our patients have come to trust,” Williams said.
There will be no immediate day-to-day operations changes to Ohio Valley but the way in which the organization is referenced will evolve, according to the release. It will be mostly referred to as Ohio Valley with “acknowledgment of its relationship as a Mercy Health network partner.”
Ohio Valley was started by physicians and in 2022 struck a deal to share ownership with Premier Health and OhioHealth to use their resources to expand operations and services, and to attract new specialists. It opened in 2009 and was one of the few independent hospitals in the state.
