Community Open House Scheduled for Saturday, August 21
While the physical presence of the Adena Orthopedic and Spine Institute (AOSI) continues to move toward its September 1st opening, the operational vision that will make it more than just another health care facility is becoming clear as well.
Situated on the campus of Adena Regional Medical Center in Chillicothe, the five-story, 111,000-square-foot AOSI will be the new home to Adena’s nationally accredited orthopedics program and specialized care for orthopedics, spine, sports medicine, neurology, podiatry and interventional pain management. This group of physicians, advanced practice providers and caregivers, collectively known as Adena Bone and Joint, will be called Adena Orthopedic and Spine Institute as well starting next month.
