A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Friday, July 23 to signify the beginning of the construction process of the Genesis Coshocton Medical Center. The center is scheduled to be completed by early 2023. The state-of-the-art facility will bring together the region’s best physicians, nurses, technologists, and support staff, providing improved access to high-quality, advanced healthcare to the residents of Coshocton County.
“Today marks the beginning of a new era of healthcare in the Coshocton area,” said Matthew Perry, President and CEO, Genesis HealthCare System.
The 60,000 square foot facility will be conveniently located near the intersection of State Route 36 and Airport Road, across the highway from Walmart in Coshocton. The single-floor modern design will hold many features with a special focus on the patient experience. The Genesis Coshocton Medical Center will provide services including a 10-bed emergency department, outpatient surgery center, overnight observation unit, imaging department, laboratory, pharmacy, cardiac diagnostics, respiratory therapy, pulmonary function testing, therapies (speech, physical and occupational), and a medical office building for physician specialists.
Generous gifts from the Coshocton Foundation, Montgomery Foundation, and the Genesis HealthCare Foundation helped to make the 45 million dollar project possible.
