Morrow County Hospital (MCH) is located in the north central Ohio community of Mount Gilead, where it has been serving the community for the past 50 years. MCH, managed by OhioHealth, is a 92,000-sq-ft facility with 70 patient beds.

It provides acute care to the community with services that include inpatient and outpatient care; emergency services; surgery; long-term care; and occupational, physical, speech, and respiratory therapies. Increasing costs and decreasing reimbursements had led to the hospital's poor financial performance, and the outdated facilities could not provide a comfortable environment for patients and staff. Parts of the facility's infrastructure, including its hvac system, were 30 to 35 years old and well past their life expectancies.
