Seven patients treated for Legionnaires' disease at new Mount Carmel Grove City hospital

The Ohio Department of Health has ordered Mount Carmel Health System to “take immediate action to contain a Legionnaire’s outbreak” at its new Grove City hospital. The health system announced late Friday night that seven patients with Legionnaire’s disease have been treated since last week at the seven-floor, 210-bed facility that opened April 28 to replace the former Mount Carmel West hospital in Franklinton.
