If you are a patient who was scheduled for an elective surgical procedure, your physician or the hospital will be calling you directly to reschedule your surgery time.

Earlier this morning, we received a bomb threat. Our Protective Services and staff acted swiftly coordinating efforts with Columbus Police and Fire Departments. Several searches using K-9 units were conducted.
