how we have grown - OhioHealth

Message from the PresidentBruce P. HagenWhen Dublin Methodist Hospital opened its doors in January2008, it marked an important milestone for OhioHealth aswell as for healthcare in central Ohio — and beyond. With thesupport of the Dublin community, we were able to create thefirst hospital in the nation to integrate totally digital, wirelesstechnology with evidence-based architecture to create a unique“high tech, high touch” healing environment. The welcome wereceived from community leaders and the people of Dublin, fromthe very beginning of our planning efforts in 2004, was integralto that success.Five years later, we continue to grow and expand — and our partnership with theDublin community is more important than ever. We have expanded our surgical services;added radiation oncology and breast health services; and enhanced cardiac care with aHeart Failure Clinic. Already this year, we’ve opened a new Heart and Vascular diagnosticcatheterization lab and launched construction for an expanded maternity care unit.Within the Dublin community, we are playing a vital role in supporting developmentof the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. We also are proudto support important initiatives such as Healthy Dublin, Project SEARCH, the Dublin IrishFestival, the Memorial Tournament, the Dublin Foundation Emerald Celebration and more.And we’re just getting started. Our campus was designed for growth. As a system, weare always looking for new ways OhioHealth can better serve Dublin residents close towhere they live, and we’re already making plans for what comes next. Financially, we areahead of our projections and have met or exceeded all targets since 2009. We ensureaffordable care for the community through continual expense management and focus onoperational efficiency. As a result, we are among the lowest-cost hospitals in central Ohio,and our internal performance metrics show we effectively balance quality and servicewith a positive work-life balance for our associates.On behalf of all our physicians, associates and volunteers, I want to thank you for yoursupport.
