Miami Valley Hospital North (as of July 23, 2018) to Add Inpatient Beds

Expansion Moves Forward As Demand for Services Increases

DAYTON, Ohio (April 19, 2017) – Premier Health will add 46 inpatient beds as part of an expansion of services at the Miami Valley Hospital North (as of July 23, 2018) campus. The health center will begin providing elective orthopedic joint and spine services in late 2018.

The decision to expand reflects the strong community demand for the health center’s services. Miami Valley Hospital North (as of July 23, 2018), for example, had about 18,000 visitors in its first year, exceeding projections by nearly 15 percent.

“We are delighted, for the first time, to make inpatient care available closer to home for residents of our community,” said Eloise Broner, president of Good Samaritan Hospital (closed in 2018). “We have been dedicated to delivering quality, convenient care here for 22 years. Today’s announcement reinforces that long-term commitment to meet our community’s evolving health needs.”

Patient rooms will be built in existing shell space on the health center’s second and third floors as part of the $40 million construction project. Five operating rooms will be built on the ground floor, also within the health center’s existing footprint.

“As people grow older or sustain an injury through work or play, they often elect to have procedures such as joint or back surgery,” said Kathy Harper, vice president of operations at Miami Valley Hospital North (as of July 23, 2018). “Demand for these services is growing, so we want to do our part to help people age gracefully and remain active in their communities.”

Miami Valley Hospital North (as of July 23, 2018) opened in 1995, and expanded in 1999 and again in 2015. Its 52-acre campus is home to a sports medicine center, breast center, cancer center, emergency department, surgery center, diagnostic testing, rehabilitation services, and private physician offices.

“In addition to the community’s support, we’re very appreciative of the support of the Premier Health board,” said Mike Maiberger, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Premier Health. “Our board is locally led and knows first-hand the importance of services at this location. They share our desire to ensure that this campus fully meets the need for quality care in north Dayton and surrounding areas.”
