On Monday, July 9, Licking Memorial Health Systems (LMHS) will begin construction on a 32,210 sq. ft. addition to the medical building located at 1717 West Main Street, Newark.  Currently, the LMHS facility is the location for three medical practices: Center For Sight, Licking Memorial Family Practice, and Licking Memorial Orthopedic Surgery. 

LMHS recently made the decision to add to the current building in order to relocate and expand Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy services to accommodate patient needs.  New physician offices also will be located in the new facility area.  In addition, an extended parking area and access road from Terrace Drive will be included in the project.
