Express Care gets you treatment fast in Conneaut

You don’t plan when you get sick. Now, you don’t have to plan ahead to get the medical care you need.

ACMC now offers Express Care – care for minor illness and injury for patients age two and older – at the Conneaut Family Health Center. 

Express Care is a walk-in service for patients who can’t get into their family physician or who don’t need the advanced care of an Emergency Department.

Typical conditions diagnosed and treated at Express Care include (but are not limited to):

  • Cold and flu
  • Infections (sinus, upper respiratory, urinary tract, ear, nose, throat)
  • Simple sprains and strains
  • Minor back and shoulder pain (without history of trauma)
  • Cuts, scrapes and bruises
  • Bites, stings and rashes (as well as other minor skin conditions)
  • Cellulitis
  • Stomach aches
  • Shingles, ringworm, impetigo
  • Conjunctivitis and Styes

 “We’re excited to bring Express Care to Conneaut. It’s a level of care and convenience the community has requested,” said Mike Habowski, President and CEO of Ashtabula County Medical Center. “ACMC already brings the largest complement of full-time medical providers and latest technology to our communities. Now, we are making quality healthcare easier and faster to access. No appointment is needed to use Express Care and we offer evening and Saturday hours to accommodate work and school hours.”

Patients may use ACMC Express Care at Conneaut Family Health Center Monday through Friday from 11 am to 8:30 pm, , and Saturday from 9 am to 6:30 pm. Patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis.

Express Care is only for minor illness and injury. If you are experiencing chest pain, significant bleeding, or exposed bone or tissue, call 911 or go directly to the ACMC Emergency Department.

Conneaut Family Health Center also offers same-day laboratory and digital x-ray services for patients who need additional testing during their Express Care visit.

Additional services at Conneaut Family Health Center include digital mammography and digital X-ray. Appointments are required for both of those services.
