The center will allow access to their services to everyone in Akron. They will also partner with local health care providers to help staff and serve the facility.

“As we continue to listen and respond to what our families need, our work continues to expand in ways we never dreamed of,” the foundation’s Executive Director Michele Campbell said. “Access to affordable health care has always been a critical need for our families and further heighten by the pandemic. So we began rallying our community to bring the experts together under one trusted roof. Being able to provide this important resource for the entire community is only possible because we have incredible partners that share our We Are Family philosophy.”

The facility is set to open sometime in 2023.
