Mercy Health – Youngstown will build a new, 241-bed hospital and medical-office complex on a 62.88-acre site adjacent to the Kent State University Trumbull Campus. This new St. Joseph Warren campus will be located on Educational Highway.
The facility will be more than 400,000 square feet, and Mercy Health expects to break ground on the facility in early 2023, with an anticipated opening in late 2025.
The current St. Joseph Warren Hospital campus will continue to be maintained by Mercy Health, where we will offer outpatient services in the existing Medical Office Building and redevelop the rest of the site into green space.
“This investment in a new hospital campus will not only enable us to provide a better inpatient experience, but it also aligns with our mission to promote the health and well-being of our communities,” said John Luellen, president, Mercy Health – Lorain and Youngstown.
The new hospital campus, which will be the first new hospital construction in the Mahoning Valley since Mercy Health built St. Elizabeth Boardman Hospital in 2007, will provide full inpatient and outpatient services and offers opportunity for future campus expansion. The facility will also be home to a medical office building located adjacent to the hospital that will offer specialist care.
The project architects are GBBN and Strollo. Thorson Baker and Associates and Heapy are leading engineering. Shook Construction and Turner Construction Company are the construction firms.
“As a health care ministry, we are called to bring good help to those in need. Building a new campus for St. Joseph Warren Hospital will enable Mercy Health to do just that by continuing to provide high-quality, compassionate care to the people of the Mahoning Valley,” said St. Joseph Warren Hospital President Char Wray. ”We look forward to further developing our footprint in Trumbull County by providing additional access points to the care the community needs.”
In addition to building this new St. Joseph Warren Hospital campus, Mercy Health – Youngstown is building an inpatient acute rehabilitation hospital as part of a joint venture with Kindred Rehabilitation Services, a business unit of LifePoint Health, and is renovating the former Veterans Administration clinic on Belmont Avenue in Youngstown. The facility will house a family medicine residency program, new addiction residency program, an obstetrics and gynecology clinic and a Centering Pregnancy Program.
