In today’s market health-care delivery follows a consumer model. The old provider-oriented model does not meet the consumer demand for quality care, convenient services, and economic value. As the health-care industry changes, so does the design of health-care facilities. The Sycamore Primary Care Center, a new 25,000-square-foot facility in southwestern Ohio, has been designed to meet the market-driven demands of health-care consumers.

The Center will offer full primary care services and an internal medicine practice that includes physical therapy, a medical education area, an obstetrics-gynecology practice, and a pediatrics practice, as well as a full-service apothecary. Each practice, including the apothecary, will be a teaching site for postgraduate residents and medical students. The center is located on the campus of Sycamore Hospital, a 185-bed hospital in the suburban community of Miamisburg, just outside the Dayton, Ohio metropolitan area of approximately 900,000 people. Sycamore Primary Care Center is affiliated with the Kettering Medical Center and Wright State University School of Medicine.
