The Aultman Orrville Carrollton Schools Health Center, a new primary care facility in Carroll County, will be unveiled to the public.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place on November 17th at 10 am and will lead into a free open house lasting until 12:30 pm.

The health center is a joint partnership between Aultman and Carrollton Exempted Village Schools. The center will offer wellness exams, sick visits, sports physicals, and other primary care services.

Superintendent Dave Davis says the center was made possible by grant funding.

“We were able to secure grant funds kind of collaboratively through the school and through Aultman. They also went through Ohio Department of Health and [Ohio Department of Education]. Then we used some ESSER monies to be able to put it all together.

The health center will open to patients Monday through Friday 8 am to 4:30 pm beginning November 20th.

The facility on 211 Scio Road SW in Carrollton is one of seven Aultman Orrville Hospital Rural Health Clinics.
