Digital health leader deepens investment in Central Ohio, advancing growth in one of the nation’s leading life sciences hubs
Columbus, Ohio – Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (NYSE: HIMS), the leading digital health and wellness platform, announced plans to invest more than $200 million to expand its operations in New Albany. The project includes a new state-of-the-art facility focused on fulfillment, lab testing and pharmacy operations. This is expected to double the company’s physical footprint in the Columbus Region and create up to 400 new jobs.
This expansion will deepen Hims & Hers’ commitment to advancing clinical innovation and expanding access to personalized care, strengthening the company’s ability to scale its services and enhance the customer experience. The new facility is expected to support a broader range of offerings and boast new capabilities that reflect the evolving health and wellness needs of consumers.
“As more customers come to Hims & Hers to access the care they need, we’re growing our ability to meet demand for affordable, high-quality treatments,” said Mike Chi, Chief Operating Officer of Hims & Hers. “We are proud to continue investing deeply in Ohio. The community and our operations here are key to our commitment to delivering a simple, safe, and personalized experience for every customer who trusts us with their health and wellness journey.”
Hims & Hers launched operations in the Columbus Region in 2019 and has steadily expanded its pharmacy presence since that time. Its current New Albany-based facility is licensed by the Ohio Board of Pharmacy and adheres to strict federal and state regulatory standards.
“The 400 new jobs Hims & Hers plans to create means 400 families will have new opportunities to grow and thrive here in Ohio,” said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. “This investment strengthens the regional economy and demonstrates that Ohio is a place where innovative companies can succeed and scale for the future.”
“The Columbus metro works for companies that need to scale with precision and speed,” said Jason Hall, CEO of the Columbus Partnership. “You see that when companies continue to deepen their presence. That pattern tells you more than any headline.”
The Columbus Region is emerging as a national hub for life sciences, supported by more than 23,000 research and development professionals and over 26,000 life sciences-related degrees awarded in the last five years. With a strong research base, a growing integrated supply chain, and a deep pipeline of technical talent, the region continues to attract companies investing in the future of health.
“New Albany is proud to be the home of Hims & Hers’ next major investment,” said New Albany Mayor Sloan Spalding. “This project reinforces our city’s position as a destination for forward-looking companies and high-quality jobs. We’re building a community where innovation scales and opportunity grows.”
New Albany’s growth as a destination for advanced industry has positioned it as a key location in the Columbus Region’s success story. The city is home to a diverse mix of technology, manufacturing and healthcare operations.
“Ohio continues to be a leader in digital health,” said JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef. “By implementing technology across the patient journey, innovative companies, like Hims & Hers, connect their customers with the personalized care they need at an affordable cost. This commitment from Hims & Hers demonstrates their belief in Ohio’s statewide strategy to grow next-generation industries like life sciences.”
The new site will be located at 9885 Innovation Campus Way in New Albany, nearby its current facility. Construction is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2026. JobsOhio plans to provide assistance for the project, which will be made public after a final agreement is executed.
