Staying North of I-70 is probably your best bet. I have lived in Worthington, Dublin, and now Grandview and all have been great places to live, quiet, lots of things to do around each of them. The Polaris/Powell area is good too, but lots of traffic. I think you can find a nice place to rent, relatively cheap in any of those areas. The one thing you have to watch out for is commute time to work. If you have to hit any major highway interchange area(270-70, 315-270, 71-270) things can get really backed up during rush hour. I just recently moved from Dublin to Grandview because it was taking me 30mins to an hour just to get downtown for work. Now I am there in 5-10. If commute isnt an issue then disregard the paragraph. As for hospitals, I have been to OSU and Riverside and have received great medical care. I have friends that work at Mt. Carmel and they seem to enjoy it.
