Construction is beginning on the new Mary Rutan Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Center, which will occupy nearly the entire third floor of the Mary Rutan Health Center, 1134 N. Main St.
The 18,000 square-foot space scheduled to open in December will include 21 private exam and procedure rooms, onsite imaging, a large lounge with comfortable waiting space and a soothing environment to promote healing and enhance the patient experience, representatives said.
With opening of the center, Mary Rutan will further solidify its partnership with the Orthopedics Institute of Ohio (OIO), positioning itself and the new location as a leading destination for comprehensive treatment of orthopedic and sports medicine injuries.
“Through this partnership and our new facility space, we can provide patients more convenient access to the precise care they require,” said Chad Ross, Mary Rutan Health president and CEO.
“Our providers will work together to establish best-in-class treatment protocols to ensure patients are receiving the highest care possible.”
A highly-trained, specialized network of five orthopedic surgeons will serve as the foundation of the new Center. These include specialists in hand, spine, trauma, joint replacement and general orthopedics.
Local orthopedic surgeons include Dr. Robert Anderson, Dr. Nicholas Peters, Dr. Jason Anane-Sefah, Dr. Steven Haman and Dr. Frank Fumich.
“The joining of forces to form a comprehensive orthopedic and sports medicine team, providing high-quality, expansive multidisciplinary care within a destination-type center is exciting for the healthcare community at large,” said Dr. Peters, Mary Rutan orthopedic surgeon.
“The patient-centered design, along with the expertise of our skilled surgeons and the outstanding clinical care of our dedicated staff, will ensure an exceptional patient experience.”
Mary Rutan Health continues its mission of providing progressive quality healthcare with a personal touch while expanding services that allow patients to stay close to home, representatives said.
“We are committed to being the orthopedic provider of choice for our community by providing high-quality, personalized care to our patients through our experienced and dedicated team of experts in orthopedic care.
“Our investment to enhance our Orthopedics & Sports Medicine offerings is one more example of our dedication to the community we serve.”
Third-floor development plans will also provide a new home for Audiology, Neurology and Ear, Nose & Throat services.
