The 1,644 square foot facility is expected to open this summer (2011) and will be home to Garrettsville Family Medicine. Dr. Jessica Bittence from Hiram will be the primary physician at the center.
Stephen Colecchi FACHE, President and Chief Executive Officer stated that “Garrettsville has always been a key part of the hospitals service area. The addition of the health center will further support our mission of continually improving and extending our care to the communities that we serve.”

The facility is the second-largest employer in Portage County including an urgent care facility, a free-standing comprehensive imaging facility, a network of physician practices, and off-site health centers and medical facilities throughout Portage County.
