Licking Memorial Health Systems (LMHS) hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house for the addition to the Licking Memorial Medical Campus, located at 1717 West Main Street in Newark.  The 32,210-square foot expansion sits on nearly 14 acres of property that was originally purchased in 2004.  Since the building opened in the fall of 2016, the facility has housed three medical practices: Center For Sight, Licking Memorial Family Practice – West Main and Licking Memorial Orthopedic Surgery.
 
The Medical Campus addition mirrors the original design of the building and serves as the new location for Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy services.  Dermatology and Gastroenterology physician offices, as well as a Wellness Center, also are located in the expanded facility.  New offices have been seeing patients since June 3.  In addition, an extended parking area and access road from Terrace Avenue are now available.   
 
Licking Memorial Medical Campus, a two-story building, is located a half mile west of the Hospital.  The grand opening event featured tours of the facility and an open house reception with light refreshments.  A variety of LMHS clinical and non-clinical staff were available to answer questions and offer information regarding the new facility.
 
The Licking Memorial Medical Campus offers significantly expanded office space to accommodate patient needs.  The convenient location provides adjacent access for patients and physicians to Licking Memorial Hospital – Tamarack, which also features recently renovated, larger outpatient surgery rooms.
