ACMC Pulse •
ASHTABULA COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER
(ACMC) is providing $1.3 million in
funding to double the size of the Jefferson
Family Health Center and add jobs this
year.
Work on the project, which will bring
new physicians and new services to the
Jefferson facility, will be completed this
fall.
“When we added our third physician
in 2012, the Jefferson community
embraced Dr. Andi with open arms,
which reinforced our belief that more
healthcare services are needed in
Jefferson,” said ACMC President
and CEO Michael Habowski. “The
expansion to our existing facility will
provide the space and equipment for
those services and make access to
physicians easier.”
What to expect
Once the expanded office opens later this
year, ACMC will offer digital radiology,
physical therapy, full-time lab service and
additional office hours for physicians.
The radiology services, lab and physical
therapy will be available to all patients,
not just those of Jefferson’s current roster
of physicians: Andi Tirounilacandin,
MD (Dr. Andi); Catherine Bishop, DO;
Laxman Cingireddi, MD; Nathaniel
Franley, MD; and David Parker, MD.
Dr. Bishop, ACMC family physician,
began seeing patients at Jefferson
Family Health Center in February. She
specializes in caring for seniors but will
see patients 18 years old and up. This
allows patients to stay closer to home for
healthcare tests and treatment.
Jefferson native Dr. Franley is
currently seeing patients select evenings
and Saturdays at Jefferson Family Health
Center. He recently completed a family
practice residency program at Cleveland
Clinic and is completing a fellowship in
sports medicine. He will join the Jefferson
Family Health Center full-time in 2015.
“The availability of evening hours gives
Jefferson-area residents more options for
treatment, especially if they work outside
the area,” Habowski said. “We are pleased
that Dr. Franley is available now, and we
are looking forward to him joining us
full-time next year.”
In addition to the two new physicians,
Drs. Andi, Cingireddi and Parker are also
welcoming new patients.
Wait—there's more!
The 2014 expansion at Jefferson Family
Health Center will also include a new
waiting room, updated computer systems
and new entrances.
Patients who use the Jefferson facility
will also have access to MyChart through
the EPIC system currently being used
through the ACMC Healthcare System.
