is your community hospital.
We’ve got you covered
Here’s my challenge to you: The next
time you need to see a specialist, look
us up first. Our mix of ACMC and
Cleveland Clinic specialists cover
the gamut from allergies to vascular
disease. Our team of physicians,
physician assistants and nurse
practitioners has the knowledge and
expertise to treat you right here at
ACMC. We support them with the
best equipment money can buy. And
we tie it all back into Epic electronic
medical records so you and your
physician can track your tests, lab
results and prescriptions.
If you don’t need a specialist,
our family physicians and nurse
practitioners are here to help you
manage your overall health and
well-being, whether you need a
routine health checkup or are
dealing with an acute or chronic
illness. For nonemergency health
needs, we offer ACMC Express
Care in Ashtabula, Conneaut and
Jefferson. And our Emergency
Department doors are always open
when your health problem is a true
emergency.
You can read more about our

healthcare need, come see us. We’ve
been here for more than 110 years,
we’ll be here when you need us and
