Thank You to Green Local School District

Students face stress, emotional challenges, and barriers that can affect their well-being and learning. They hope to feel supported, understood, and empowered to succeed both in and out of the classroom. Portsmouth City Schools has partnered with us by welcoming our team onto the school day to meet with students directly. This partnership ensures students know they are not alone and that caring adults are here to walk alongside them on their journey.

Holiday Anxiety Is More Common Than You Think

As joyful as the holiday season can be, it also brings stress, pressure, and emotional overwhelm for so many people. If you're feeling anxious this time of year, you’re not alone — and there’s nothing wrong with you.

If you experience any of these symptoms and feel you need support, reach out to us at one of our 3 locations:

Adams County: 937-544-5581

The 340B program that Shawnee provides for patients is at risk due to restrictions imposed by large drug companies—and the impact reaches far beyond the pharmacy counter.

When patients can’t afford their medications, entire communities feel the effects.

Help us continue serving our community by supporting the Ohio 340B Pharmacy Access Act. This legislation helps ensure the cost of medication does not stand between Ohioans and the care they need.

Faces Behind the Work: Our Primary Care Team

Every day, people walk through our doors carrying more than what we can see—managing chronic conditions, worrying about new symptoms, or feeling overwhelmed trying to stay healthy.

What they want most is to feel well, supported, and truly heard. They hope for providers who guide them with compassion and help them take confident steps toward better health.

✨That’s where our Primary Care team shines. From physicians and nurse practitioners to nurses and medical assistants, each person plays a vital role in delivering whole-person care and connecting patients to the resources they need.

One patient shared that before coming to us, they felt “lost in the system.” After meeting their provider, they said, “For the first time, someone really listened. I finally feel hopeful about my health.”

💛Behind every healthier day is a dedicated professional showing up with skill, care, and heart.

School-Based Counseling Services 💙

Many students feel overwhelmed—stress at home, anxiety, trouble focusing, or emotions they can’t manage alone. They want to feel supported, calm, and confident.

We have counselors in 10 schools across the county, meeting students right where they are and providing therapy, crisis support, and skills to help them thrive.
One student shared that meeting with their counselor was “the first time someone really listened”—and it changed everything.

Holiday Reminder: School may be closed, but help is still here. If your child needs support over break, please reach out to us at 740-354-7702.
