Van Wert independent/VWCH information

The office location may be changing but the specialized care remains the same at Van Wert County Hospital’s Specialty Clinic. Beginning January 3, the Specialty Clinic will be moving to a new office location: Suite 209 in the Van Wert Health Center, just across the street from the hospital at 140 Fox Road.

The Specialty Clinic’s new location will feature additional office space, increased accessibility for both patient and handicap parking, while still providing access to additional healthcare services.  Van Wert County Hospital is pleased to continue offering access to specialty care in a convenient, close to home location.

“We are pleased to offer our community access to an array of quality subspecialists who are a part of the Specialty Clinic,” said hospital President and CEO Mark Minick. “This clinic provides patients from the region with convenient access to care they previously had to travel outside the area to receive.”

“In the last year we have added six new physicians to the Specialty Clinic, which has tripled the volume from the previous year,” said Van Wert Medical Services Executive Director Nick Spoonmore. “This growth has required us to increase the space of the clinic, which will also allow us to attract additional specialties to the community.”

More than 3,000 patients from Van Wert County receive treatment from physicians at Van Wert County Hospital’s Specialty Clinic. Physicians rotate through the clinic holding office hours throughout the month. The Specialty Clinic offers specialties such as nephrology, oncology, neurology, podiatry, orthopedic, neurosurgery and gastroenterology.
