MARION, OH (MARION COUNTY NOW)—OhioHealth Physician Group, in collaboration with OhioHealth Marion General Hospital, has invested $8.7 million to renovate and relocate two clinics, one for Heart & Vascular and the other for Primary Care, at 278 Barks Road W. The clinics, which opened on March 18, 2024, now operate under one roof, offering convenient and accessible care for residents of Marion County and surrounding areas.
The 28,000 sq ft non-clinical building, previously known as the Office and Conference Center, will expand OhioHealth’s capacity to serve more patients. The clinics are conveniently located, providing patients with access to a wider array of services.
OhioHealth’s significant investment in the Barks Road medical office building is part of an ongoing mission to recruit physicians, particularly in primary care. The new space will enable OhioHealth to attract and onboard new providers.
“This project is essential for the area’s continued growth by adding additional physicians and continuing to provide local/regional imaging, cardio-oncology, interventional, electrophysiology, and vascular services for both Marion and surrounding counties,” said Dr. Kyle Feldmann.
The investment included an interior renovation, a parking lot expansion, and exterior building upgrades. The interior houses a 10,000 sq ft Heart & Vascular Clinic with 12 providers and 27 exam rooms, and a 6,500 sq ft Primary Care Clinic with 16 exam rooms. Plans are in place for the Primary Care Clinic to expand to include four physicians and two advanced practice providers. Additionally, an Imaging Clinic for Heart & Vascular Services with five cardiac testing rooms will be established.
Kim Crabtree, practice manager, said, “This is a great example of OhioHealth’s continued investment in the vision and strategy of healthcare in Marion. We are bringing value to the community and helping to keep care local for patients in and around Marion County.”
