Chillicothe, Ohio — The Ross County Building Department has officially assigned the address 110 Cohen’s Way, Chillicothe, OH 45601 to the Great Seal Medical Campus, home to the forthcoming Medical Office & Ambulatory Surgery Center. This formal step, documented in county records and shared by Cohen Orthopedic, marks a tangible milestone in the development of a new healthcare facility aimed at expanding specialized medical services in southern Ohio.
The document, issued under the authority of the Ross County Board of Commissioners per a 1975 resolution, assigns the house number for the campus. It includes standard guidance on mailbox installation and visibility requirements to support mail delivery and emergency services. Cohen Orthopedic’s social media update highlights the significance: “The work continues, but milestones like this serve as a reminder that persistence, conviction, and purpose can overcome even the strongest headwinds. … The next chapter begins now.”
Background on the Project
Dr. Brian Cohen, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with extensive experience serving central and southern Ohio, leads the initiative through Cohen Orthopedic in partnership with the Great Seal Medical Group and ValueHealth. Plans for the campus were announced in 2022–2023 following the purchase of approximately 47 acres off River Road in Chillicothe.
The multi-specialty development is designed to include:
• Urgent care and primary care
• Orthopedics
• Cardiology and vascular surgery
• General surgery
• Advanced imaging and other outpatient services
The project emphasizes patient-centered care, cost efficiency, and clinical innovation, with potential for same-day or next-day appointments. It is part of broader efforts to bring advanced ambulatory surgical and medical services closer to residents in Ross County and surrounding areas.
As of early 2026, construction preparations were advancing, with earlier projections targeting an opening in the mid-2020s. The campus is intended to complement existing healthcare providers in the region, including facilities associated with OhioHealth.
Southern Ohio Context and Community Impact
Chillicothe, the county seat of Ross County in southern Ohio’s Scioto River Valley, boasts a rich history as the first and third capital of Ohio and the heart of the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area, known for its blend of historical significance, natural beauty in the Appalachian foothills, and strong community ties, has long supported local healthcare needs through institutions like the Chillicothe Veterans Affairs Medical Center and various clinics.
Developments like the Great Seal Medical Campus address ongoing needs for accessible, high-quality outpatient care in rural and semi-rural southern Ohio communities. Ross County and adjacent counties (such as Pickaway, Pike, Jackson, and Highland) often face challenges with healthcare access, travel distances to major centers like Columbus, and the demand for specialized services. Local leaders, including Ross County commissioners, have expressed support for projects that enhance economic vitality and resident well-being.
This initiative aligns with regional efforts to strengthen healthcare infrastructure while respecting local character and regulatory standards set by Ohio agencies, including building departments and environmental reviews.
Looking Ahead
The assignment of the official address signals progress toward groundbreaking and construction phases. Community members can follow updates via Cohen Orthopedic’s website and local news outlets covering Ross and surrounding counties.
