suburban
community surrounding the hospital.

History

Miami Valley Hospital South sits on a 115-acre (47 ha) campus along

suburban housing development was taking place. It was also constructed with partnerships with local high schools in mind to expand athletic training services for student athletes.[1] The project was overseen by Premier Health employee Joann Ringer, who later became chief operating officer of the facility.[2]

The original 268,000-square-foot (24,900 m2) outpatient facility was in October 2007 at a construction cost of $79,500,000, and featured a

Level I Trauma Center at Miami Valley Hospital. Originally called Miami Valley South Health Center,[3] traffic to the hospital quickly escalated beyond what was projected, in part because of consumer demand for care in a single facility and without the need to transfer to other hospitals.[1]

In November 2008, the first

maternity ward completed in August 2012, for a total of 60 beds. At the end of this expansion, the number of staff grew to 478 full- and part-time employees. The hospital saw admittance to its emergency department grow from 19,500 in 2007 to 2008 to 32,000 in 2012. From August 2012 to February 2013 the number of babies born in the maternity ward was 550.[1]

The facility features architecture intended to evoke a sense of calm. It was constructed with a central courtyard and a number of windows overlooking it, as well as nature-related artwork and architecture. There are also separate hallways for staff and visitors in order to make the interior appear less crowded. The hospital also features a substantial amount of parking and a shuttle service to the entrance. Miami Valley Hospital South was constructed with future expansion in mind. Two of the five floors in the patient wing are empty and can be filled adding 24 beds each. A third hallway can be added to the wing which will add 60 beds, and the maternity ward can also be expanded with a second floor to add 12 beds, which means the facility could be expanded to 180 beds.[1]

Services

The hospital features a number of inpatient support services including a

computed tomography[7]

The facility also features a physician office building which houses staff practitioners as well as offices for physicians with independent practices within the community. The 78,000-square-foot (7,200 m2) building, opened in January 2013, also features a comprehensive cancer care center focused on outpatient cancer care treatment, as well as space for patient education and support groups. In addition to physician labs, the facility also houses a concrete enclosed vault which houses a

linear accelerator, which is used for precision cancer treatments.[8] When Miami Valley Hospital South opened, the specialists for ovarian cancer and uterine cancer were moved there from Miami Valley Hospital.[5]
