A healthcare agency in downtown Sandusky recently opened its newest location. Family Health Services ' mission is to serve everyone in the community, especially low-income patients who are in need of medical resources .The health center recently received $1.1 million in federal grant money to continue helping its growing number of patients. They currently service more than 16,000 patients across Northeast Ohio.“I don’t feel like a number,” said patient Cora Higgins.
Another major issue they discovered was 51% of community members in Sandusky and the surrounding areas don’t have regular access to a vehicle.“So, we put in a transportation initiative, and one of the things that we offer here to the patients that we see is we'll go pick them up, and we'll drive them here and we'll drive them home,” Tatro said.Family Health Services include not only primary care but dental, behavioral health, and an on-site pharmacy and nutrition.
