HealthQuarters will accept Medicaid, Medicare and most private insurance plans, since it is a federally qualified health center. It will also offer sliding-scale payments for uninsured patients, with a reduced-cost pharmacy on site.
New patients can call 330-510-4747 or stop by the health center to schedule an appointment. Patients can begin making appointments, but the health center does not have set business hours yet. Other AxessPointe health center locations in the area are open as late as 7 p.m. on weekdays and also offer weekend appointments.
