Erlanger East Campus is a vital component of the Erlanger Health System. The multi-faceted medical campus is meeting the needs of a growing community with a Surgical Center (serving men, women and teens), an Urgent Care Center, physician offices and the Women’s Services obstetrics wing that is just completing a new addition.
History
In 1991, Erlanger Health System opened the Erlanger East Surgery Center at 1755 Gunbarrel Road just as that corridor began an explosion of growth associated with nearby Hamilton Place Mall. The new facility featured outpatient surgical services, as well as physician offices and soon included a Quick Care clinic.
On adjacent property, Erlanger entered into a joint venture with Memorial Heath Care System to build a low-risk birthing center. Women’s East Pavilion, initially focusing on low-risk deliveries and single-room maternity care, opened at 1751 Gunbarrel Road in 1996.
In 2000, Erlanger purchased Memorial’s interest. The new name of the facility was Erlanger East Campus and the obstetrical services side was joined to the Surgical Services/Quick Care side, becoming one medical campus - an obstetrical hospital, a surgery center and a busy Urgent Care walk-in clinic and physician office center.
Today, Erlanger East Campus includes seven additional rooms, a 16-bed, well-baby nursery and additional operating room for c-sections. Erlanger East Women’s Services now has 25 rooms for labor, delivery, and recovery. A second C-section room has been added that has the latest digital technology in which transmission via the Web is capable. This makes it possible to transmit your delivery to loved ones both nationally and internationally.
Further expansion to Erlanger East is in the planning stages.
Erlanger East Campus features several key components:
Erlanger East Campus Surgical Center
Erlanger East Campus Women's Services
Erlanger East Campus Urgent Care
