PERRYSBURG — On April 18, 2018, Mercy Health – Perrysburg Hospital admitted its first person to its brand-new inpatient unit. This year, the now full-service hospital is celebrating its fifth birthday.
Through advanced treatments and cutting-edge technology, Mercy Health’s goal is to make lives better and health care easier for area residents.
Mercy Health – Perrysburg Hospital offers area residents a 24/7 emergency room, state-of-the-art surgical center including robotics, 46 private inpatient rooms, an outpatient pharmacy, and lab and imaging services – including 3D mammography – on site. It also houses one-of-a-kind services such as the region’s only Gamma Knife and Wood County’s only heart catheterization lab.
To celebrate five years of providing the area with comprehensive health care, Mercy Health is hosting a five-year anniversary celebration and community open house at 6 p.m. on Wednesday at Mercy Health – Perrysburg Hospital, 12623 Eckel Junction Road.
“Mercy Health – Perrysburg Hospital is uniquely positioned to offer residents in Perrysburg, Maumee, Waterville and nearby communities prompt access to high-quality care close to home,” said Bob Baxter, president, Mercy Health – Toledo. “Five years after accepting our first patient in Perrysburg, Mercy Health is grateful for the community’s continued support and looks forward to working with our partners and area residents to expand health and wellness services needed in the region.”
“The Mercy Health – Perrysburg Hospital team is excited to celebrate both this milestone and the growth we have seen over the past five years. That progress will continue as we transition members of the McLaren’s St. Luke’s team in preparation of welcoming new patients,” said Andrea Gwyn, president, Mercy Health – Perrysburg Hospital.
Mercy Health’s presence in the Perrysburg area began in 2013 with the opening of the area’s first free-standing emergency department. Since then, the emergency department team has often been nationally lauded for patient experience, including most recently being awarded the 2022 Press Ganey Human Experience Guardian of Excellence Award for Patient Satisfaction.
Guardian of Excellence Awards are awarded annually to health care establishments who sustain performance in the top 5% in the nation based on one year of data.
In 2016, Mercy Health opened a state-of-the-art cancer center – the first in the Perrysburg/Maumee community – to better serve patients. Complete with medical, radiation and surgical oncology services, and now the Gamma Knife technology, Mercy Health – Perrysburg Cancer Center remains a leader in cancer treatment in the area. Additionally, Mercy Health oncology nurse navigators, access to National Cancer Institute clinical trials, and a partnership with Victory Center, offer patients, survivors, and their families the highest level of personalized care.
Recognizing the need to offer more than emergency care in the area, Mercy Health realized plans to bring the community a full-service hospital – starting with the opening of 18 inpatient rooms in 2018. A year later, in May 2019, Mercy Health introduced the community to a full-service hospital, expanding the number of inpatient rooms and offering the most up to date surgical suites and the most modern imaging and surgery technology. Also on site are Mercy Health primary care doctors and specialists, as well as Toledo Cardiology Consultants, Arrowhead Plastic Surgeons, and Toledo Surgical Associates.
In response to the news regarding the closing of nearby McLaren St. Luke’s Hospital, Mercy Health has invested in building the staff at Mercy Health – Perrysburg Hospital, as it is the located less than five miles from the current McLaren St. Luke’s location and the closest full-service hospital to the Maumee community. With additional team members on board, Mercy Health is poised to care for an influx of patients.
