HAGERSTOWN, Md. — Meritus Health’s offices at the Valley Mall are expanding as a new practice has opened.

Meritus Primary Care, 17301 Valley Mall Road, on the southwest side of Hagerstown, is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

“By opening a primary care practice at the Valley Mall, Meritus is making it easier to get to primary care appointments for those who live on the western side of Hagerstown and the Interstate 81 corridor,” said Miranda Ramsey, vice president of physician services. “The mall is a logical place to locate the practice, bringing high-quality healthcare services directly into communities where people live and work.”

The office is more than 13,000 square feet with 26 dedicated exam rooms in the former Sears store. It will join Meritus Physical Therapy, Meritus Sports Medicine, Meritus Urgent Care and Meritus After Hours Pediatrics.

The practice will start off with two providers — Andrew Ditto, M.D., and Ashley Simmons, D.N.P. — but expand to include others. Logan Robertson, P.A.-C, and Ethan Bulger, M.P.A.S., are scheduled to start in January.

The providers will see patients of all ages. As a primary care practice, our providers treat chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease; acute illness such as colds, flu or infections; and preventative care such as vaccinations, screenings, etc.
