MIDDLETOWN — Middletown Regional Hospital will offer some health care services to residents in Hamilton and Fairfield Township with its new multipurpose Walden Ponds Health Center on Ohio 4 at Bypass 4.
The 12,000-square-foot center, which is to open in March, will offer health screenings, mammography services, and yoga, massage, childbirth and wellness classes.
The number of employees who will operate the center is still being determined, but they will be existing staff from the hospital's main campus, said Janine Smith, communications coordinator for Middletown Regional.
“It helped us branch out into the Hamilton area,” she said. “It's a really great opportunity for us to get out there and start reaching more people.”
The center also will include a family physician practice, a community room and a branch office of First National Bank of Southwestern Ohio.
“With the growing need for medical and health services in this thriving community, we developed a center that not only offers primary medical care but also provides ancillary services, wellness classes and health screenings” in one convenient location, said Douglas McNeill, Middletown Regional CEO.
In the medical practice, Dr. John Zaino will provide primary medical care for patients of all ages, Ms. Smith said. He is certified by the American Board of Family Practitioners and is a member of the medical staff at Middletown Regional. He started taking patients in January.
The hospital also has partnered with Countryside YMCA in Lebanon and Coffman Family YMCA in Springboro to offer therapy, fitness and educational programs.
