University Hospitals Opens Health Campus in Amherst

AMHERST, Ohio – The new University Hospitals Amherst Beaver Creek Surgery Center (UHABC) is now open to better serve residents in Lorain County. With the additional opening for the new UH Amherst Health Center on the same campus in May, UH is committed to providing state-of-the-art medical and surgical specialty services and other ancillary services in a convenient location.

“As healthcare providers today, it is up to us to make sure that we offer the highest-quality care in the communities where our patients live,” said UH Chief Executive Officer Cliff A. Megerian, MD, FACS and Jane and Henry Meyer Chief Executive Officer Distinguished Chair. “Patients are near their family and friends, who offer the help they depend on as they recover. And of course, we know people enjoy the comfort of their own beds. We could not have done this without the support of both local physicians and investors, including our physician-investors who all helped make this possible.”

The UH Amherst Beaver Creek (UHABC) Surgery Center is a joint venture between University Hospitals, NueHealth, and key local physicians with Foundation Medical Group.

“This state-of-the-art center offers a specialized option for outpatient surgical care—one that is focused on quality, innovation, and careful attention to individual patient needs,” said NueHealth Chief Executive Officer Whitney Courser. “We expect that UH Amherst Beaver Creek Surgery Center will become a preferred regional destination for personalized and cost-effective healthcare.”

“This joint venture is an investment that furthers the great work our providers have been doing in the Lorain County community for many years. This venture is also an investment in convenient and high-quality care once solely offered in the hospital setting,” said Brian Monter, MSN, RN, MBA, Chief Operating Officer, UH West Market.

Six recovery-focused suites will be located in the same building as part of the Muve Orthopedics program, a clinically proven value-based care delivery model for ambulatory surgical centers offered by ValueHealth. The UHABC Surgery Center will focus on orthopedic, spine and ENT-related surgical procedures.

In addition to the ambulatory surgery center, the new UH Amherst Health Center will include a medical office building which will house physicians and other providers in a variety of medical and surgical specialties.
