WHEN YOU ARE SICK,
the last
thing you want to do is travel a long
distance to see a physician. The
same is true for routine tests and
treatment. The administrators at
Ashtabula County Medical Center
(ACMC) understand this and have
expanded services and invested
in facilities and technology so you
can stay close to home to receive
the care you need. In early 2014,
ACMC opened Conneaut Family
Health Center to make it easier
for members of the Conneaut
community and surrounding
areas to access a family physician
and hospital services. Conneaut
Family Health Center houses family
physician Anthony Ruffa, DO, as
well as digital mammography,
digital x-ray, laboratory services,
physical therapy and ACMC
Express Care.
In late 2014, ACMC tripled the
size of the Jefferson Family Health
Center, which houses five family
physicians: Catherine Bishop, DO;
Laxman Cingireddi, MD; Nathaniel
Franley, MD; David Parker, MD;
and Andi Tirounilacandin, MD. The
expansion allowed ACMC to begin
offering digital x-ray, laboratory
services, physical therapy and
ACMC Express Care in Jefferson.
Expansive convenience
In 2015, ACMC opened the new
Harbor Family Health Center; the
office of family physician James
Lambros, DO; and laboratory
services. And in March 2015, ACMC
added an Express Care location
in Ashtabula, right on the ACMC
campus.
That looks like a lot of growth
and activity, but ACMC Healthcare
System President and CEO Michael
Habowski said there was one
purpose throughout every project—
patient convenience.
“We are on a mission to
bring healthcare to you. ACMC
Healthcare System has invested
more than $5 million to expand
services and facilities throughout
the county to make it easier for
you to receive the care you want.
With everything ACMC has to
offer, there is very little reason
to leave Ashtabula County. At
ACMC, you’ll find nationally
recognized healthcare—right in
your backyard.”
ACMC Express Care is a
walk-in, no-appointment service in
Ashtabula, Conneaut and Jefferson
for patients age two and older who
don’t need the advanced care of an
Emergency Department.
