OhioHealth Invests $3.15 Million to Expand Van Wert Hospital Pharmacy

Introduction:

OhioHealth has commenced construction on a pharmacy expansion project valued at $3.15 million. The development aims to enhance the hospital’s essential services and improve patient care.

Features:

The project involves relocating and expanding the existing pharmacy to a new 2,500-square-foot facility, nearly doubling its current size. 

This expansion will provide additional space for improved workflow and service efficiency.

Design Collaborative oversees the design, while Tuttle Construction manages the building work.

A key aspect of the upgrade includes the introduction of a specialised clean room for sterile intravenous compounding. 

The new facility will also incorporate a hazardous medication clean room along with dedicated areas for receiving and storage.

This investment reflects the hospital’s commitment to strengthening healthcare services and ensuring continued access to high-quality medical care for the local community.

Hospital operations and patient care will remain unaffected throughout the construction period and is scheduled for completion by October 2025.
