History Of OVHC
In May 2005, a group of concerned individuals formed a committee and decided to open a health center that would benefit the medically uninsured or our county. Less than a year later, on March 13, 2006, we opened our doors to those from our county who were struggling without health care or any medical insurance. Within a short time we also joined the Ohio Association of Free Clinics to assist us in serving our clientele. We are a 501c3 organization providing health care services to medically uninsured individuals, supported financially through private donations, gifts and grants.
