Ohio’s Hospice buys Centerville-area property for headquarters

A Hospice organization serving patients and families in 30 Ohio counties bought new office space in Washington Twp.

Hospice of Dayton closed on a Paragon office building and parcel of land for $3.3 million Monday, according to Montgomery County property records.

Ohio’s Hospice spokesman Craig Schrolucke said the organization simply ran out of space at the current Wilmington Avenue offices.

The property has more than 17,000 square feet per floor with 129 dedicated parking spaces that can be expanded.

In a statement, Ohio’s Hospice said it will locate mission support services and administrative offices in the building. A spokesman did not know how many employees will move to the building.

Kent Anderson, the organization’s president and chief executive, said in a statement the space will serve as a “mission headquarters” for the not-for-profit hospices. Ohio’s Hospice is a 501(3)(c) tax-exempt organization.

Ohio’s Hospice is a group of six Ohio hospice organizations, with a headquarters at 324 Wilmington Ave., Dayton.

The building will be home to human resources, finance, communications, business development, education and training, the patient support call center and other functions, Schrolucke said.

The current “Hospice House” location at 324 Wilmington will remain as a place to serve patients and families as originally intended, he added.

The statewide organization has just over 1,000 employees working in 30 Ohio counties.

Established in 2013, affiliates of Ohio’s Hospice include Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton, Hospice of Central Ohio, Ohio’s Hospice of Miami County, Community Care Hospice, Ohio’s Hospice of Butler & Warren Counties and Ohio’s Community Mercy Hospice.
