Progress updates
August 2025: Building the foundation for what’s ahead
Progress is becoming more visible at the site of the new Adena Fayette Medical Center. In August, crews focused on critical steps to prepare the hospital’s foundation and future structure, including:
- Installing underground systems such as water, gas, electric, and sewers
- Removing and relocating utility lines to clear space for construction
- Compacting fill material to raise and stabilize the building pad
- Pouring the first concrete footer on August 29
- Beginning early work on stairwells and exterior materials
Each of these steps is helping transform the site from groundwork into a hospital that will bring advanced technology, expanded care, and greater comfort for everyone in Fayette County.
July 2025: Laying the groundwork for the future of care
Construction is officially underway — and while the new Adena Fayette Medical Center may not look like a
hospital just yet, every step is bringing us closer to a stronger future for rural health care.
Since the June groundbreaking, crews have focused on behind-the-scenes but essential work, including:
- Setting up construction trailers.
- Installing a temporary sidewalk for site safety.
- Placing gas and electric lines underground.
- Beginning prep for future electrical service.
These early milestones may be easy to miss, but they’re a vital part of what’s ahead: a modern facility with advanced technology, expanded care, and a better experience for patients and caregivers in Fayette County.
