New ER center for Miamisburg

The center will be just off the I-75 Austin Boulevard exit.

The emergency center will have 12 emergency beds, including two trauma bays. The center is considered part of Miami Valley and will be staffed by the same physicians as the main hospital.

Premier Health plans to open its newest freestanding emergency center on Monday in Miamisburg.

The emergency center will be just off the Interstate 75 Austin Boulevard exit.

Premier is having an open house 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday and opening the center Monday. There will be flu vaccines at the event.

The center was first announced in December by Dayton-based Premier, which in 2017 had 13,800 employees and $1.7 billion in revenue.

The emergency center will have 12 emergency beds, including two trauma bays.

The center is considered part of Miami Valley and will be staffed by the same physicians as the main hospital.

“The same emergency team that staffs all Miami Valley Hospital emergency departments is prepared to support the new Austin Boulevard Emergency Center,” Dr. Darin Pangalangan, chair of the Premier Health Emergency and Trauma Institute, said in a statement about the opening. “The center will serve as a rapid access point when every minute counts, and its integrated connection to all specialty services provided within the Premier Health system truly does take care to a higher level in Miamisburg.”

The Dayton Daily News previously reported that hospitals around the region have been adding to their network of emergency centers in recent years, in line with a surge of these centers built around the state.

There are now 28 ERs in the region, eight of which opened in the past five years.

Michael Maiberger, Premier executive vice president, said they are always looking at both the health access needs of residents and the business case for the health system’s locations.

“Our mission depends on us being successful in both arenas,” Maiberger said.
