DUBLIN, Ohio — OhioHealth announced on Tuesday its plan to expand Dublin Methodist Hospital.
The expansion would increase the hospital‘s inpatient and critical care capacity by creating 200 permanent clinical jobs and hundreds of construction jobs, according to a press release.
“We are extremely grateful and excited for the opportunity to expand our hospital and provide even more exceptional care within,” said Cherie Smith, president of OhioHealth’s Dublin Methodist and Grady Memorial hospitals. “The team at Dublin Methodist has an amazing reputation and we want to create even more space for them to provide exceptional care for our patients.”
The expansion project is currently in the planning phases. It will be designed to increase the size of the hospital’s first and second floors, add patient beds and services and allow for future growth. The project would also add square footage to the hospital and renovate a portion of the existing space to help add more services to meet current and future needs.
OhioHealth says the project would support the hospital’s goal of achieving Level III Trauma Center status with the American College of Surgeons. If approved in 2025, Dublin Methodist Hospital will be the only Level III Trauma Center in the northwest region of central Ohio.
The expansion will be funded through philanthropic and community support and capital investment, according to the press release. OhioHealth says this project is the largest planned expansion of Dublin Methodist Hospital since it opened in 2008.
Construction is expected to begin in winter 2026. The project is anticipated to be completed by early 2030.
