WASHINGTON, DC –A community health center in Summit County will be able to expand services as a result of new federal resources. U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today announced that Akron Community Health Resources, Inc., a medical center serving Summit County, received new resources from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to support and develop primary care health services.
