Grove City:- Nationwide Children’s Hospital announced plans today to expand its Close To Home℠ network by opening a new center in Grove City. The new center will expand convenient access to urgent care and specialized pediatric services for families in Grove City and surrounding areas.

Planned services at the center, to be located at 1350-1370 Stringtown Road east of Interstate 71, include urgent care, lab services, imaging and EKG testing, and clinical therapies. The Grove City Close To Home ℠ Center is anticipated to open in 2026.

Close To Home ℠ centers offer community-based diagnostic and therapeutic services for newborns, children and young adults, with services varying by location. Nationwide Children’s currently operates 23 Close To Home ℠ centers in central Ohio, with plans to open locations in Zanesville and Athens this year.
