oncology; psychiatry; pediatrics;
podiatry; and allergy and
immunology. Every time a patient
leaves or is transferred out of
Ashtabula County for care that
could—and should—be delivered
here, Ashtabula County suffers. It
means more time off from work
to travel back and forth, and the
money that would have been spent
at local stores and restaurants
is spent putting gas in the car or
paying parking garage fees.”
Express Care
The Geneva Family Health Center
will be the fourth ACMC Express
Care location. Express Care is a
walk-in clinic for minor illness
and injury, including things like
sprains and strains; rashes; sinus,
urinary tract, upper respiratory
and ear infections; shingles; minor
cuts; seasonal allergies; insect
bites; and influenza. The Express
Care clinic will be open in Geneva
Monday through Saturday, from
9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. ACMC also
operates Express Care locations in
Ashtabula, Conneaut and Jefferson.
ACMC will also offer walk-in lab
services at Geneva Family Health
Center. The lab will be open to
all members of the community,
regardless of whether they become
patients of the center.
Seamless care
The physicians, lab and Express
Care at Geneva Family Health
Center will be fully integrated with
ACMC’s electronic health record
system, so any care received there
will become part of the patient’s
permanent health record. That
information will be available to
any other physician in the ACMC
and Cleveland Clinic systems if a
referral for specialty care is needed.
“ACMC will celebrate its
112th anniversary this year,” says
Habowski. “Geneva is celebrating
its 150th anniversary, and Geneva
Township is celebrating its 200th
anniversary. We are proud of
our history of healthcare, and
we look forward to serving
these communities for many
more decades to come so more
Ashtabula County residents can
receive high-quality, nationally
ranked healthcare close to home.”
