Nationally Recognized for Specialized Trauma Care and Surgical Excellence, OhioHealth Grant Medical Center is the only adult hospital in downtown Columbus that offers a full range of adult medical services and specialties. Grant Medical Center has been providing quality medical care to the central Ohio community for more than a century. With a wide variety of specialty treatments available and top notch emergency care, we are able to treat a full range of medical conditions.

OhioHealth Grant Medical Center's rich history began in downtown Columbus when it was founded in 1900 by world-renowned surgeon, Dr. James F. Baldwin. Grant has grown into one of the top hospitals in Columbus and the U.S, as well as Ohio’s busiest Level I Trauma Center. We are recognized nationally for trauma care, orthopedics, heart and vascular care, neurosciences and robotic and minimally invasive surgery services. We are also home to the Center for Blood Conservation (a bloodless surgery and medicine program), a human donor milk bank for premature infants in need and a nurse anesthesia training program.

Today’s complex healthcare environment requires physicians and hospitals to work together to achieve excellence in clinical quality, patient safety and service quality. One of the ways we achieve that kind of partnership is through the OhioHealth Physician Group (OPG), a medical group of OhioHealth physicians, advanced practice providers and associates.

We value the expertise of our strong physician network. We seek out your ideas for improving the patient experience and implement them. It’s one of the reasons why we are regularly ranked in the top 10 percent of Press Ganey’s hospital experience survey, which measures physician engagement and satisfaction.

You can contribute to a culture that has repeatedly made OhioHealth one of the Fortune “100 Best Companies to Work For.” And you can collaborate with MD Anderson Cancer Network-certified physicians, use telemedicine to seek the real-time advice of experts across the system, be a part of our state-of-the-art Neuroscience facility, Level 1 Trauma Center or Primary Stroke Center, or find your fit in any of our ambulatory or specialized care sites across the central region of the state.

At OhioHealth, we want to do more than support the careers of our physicians — we want to grow their talents and help them reach their highest aspirations. We see your education not as an expense, but as a strategic investment in the health system.

We know growth isn’t limited to just education, so we rely on the voices and leadership of our physicians. We have Clinical Guidance Councils, a Physician Diversity Workforce Group, and the OhioHealth Physicians Leadership Institute to help you lead, grow and innovate in all facets of your career.
