Memorial Health System open house on schedule, delays facility opening

Memorial Health System (MHS) recently announce the rescheduled opening of its Athens Medical Campus Emergency Department to 7 a.m. June 13.

The department is in the new building at 206 Columbus Road, Athens.

To celebrate the grand opening of this new facility, Memorial Health System invites community members to attend the upcoming open house, which is still scheduled for 5-7 p.m. Wednesday. Light refreshments provided by The Changed Plate will be available, and visitors will have the opportunity to tour the emergency department before its June 13th opening.

Since October of 2023, Athens County has been the center of much excitement for Memorial Health System as the construction of their newest facility began with the arrival of the first of 204 MODLOGIQ modules from New Holland, Pennsylvania. Athens Medical Campus is the largest healthcare facility in North America built using smart off-site construction, and MHS is excited to see how they can continue to grow healthcare in the Athens community.

While the facility has four floors, only the first (emergency department) will be operating as of June 13. This 13-room ED is fully equipped with technology and resources such as lab services, x-ray, CT scanning, and ultrasound —offering patients the opportunity to receive treatment for a wide range of emergency conditions including pain, stroke, broken bones, cuts, burns and more.
