When Beavercreek Medical Center is finished in early 2012, about half of the Greene Memorial Hospital campus’ 1,100 employees will be transferred from Xenia, GMH President Greg Henderson said. There likely will be some growth in the services that remain in Xenia, such as behavioral health, he said. Greene Memorial still will have emergency and inpatient rehabilitation services as well.
Beavercreek Medical Center will have a birthing center. Greene Memorial stopped offering inpatient maternity services in July.
“We look at Greene County,” Henderson said when asked about the project’s impact on the hospital in Xenia. “It’s not Xenia, it’s Greene County.”
Beavercreek’s hospital, which would have 1,000 jobs when it opens, would be the only hospital in a 10-mile radius, home to 131,000 people live, Perez said.
Ultimately, he said, the campus’ master plan projects 300 beds and 3,000 jobs at the site in a decade.
