AxessPointe Community Health Centers/Barberton

AxessPointe Community Health Centers, including its Barberton location at 390 Robinson Ave Suite E, Barberton, OH 44203, is a non-profit federally qualified health center (FQHC) that has been serving communities in Summit, Portage, and Trumbull counties in Ohio since its establishment in 1995. Their core mission is to provide a quality, affordable, and compassionate health home for every patient, every time, in all communities, particularly focusing on underserved and uninsured populations. AxessPointe offers a wide range of integrated healthcare services designed to address the holistic needs of individuals and families. These services include comprehensive medical care (adult, pediatric, geriatric care, screenings, STD testing/treatment, chronic disease management), dental services (cleanings, extractions, fillings, fluoride treatments, and advanced dental services like crowns and dentures at some locations), behavioral health support (individual psychotherapy, crisis intervention, medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders), optometry services (yearly eye check-ups, preventive eye exams for those with diabetes), and in-house pharmacy services for convenient and cost-effective medication access. Beyond direct clinical care, AxessPointe provides vital support services to address social determinants of health. These include free insurance enrollment assistance (Medicaid and Medicare), a sliding-fee scale based on income and household size to ensure affordability, personal hygiene closets, on-site food pantries, and connections to other community resources such as transportation, housing, and utility assistance through their Community Health Workers. They also have a harm reduction program called SafePointe. AxessPointe is committed to community outreach and has a mobile health unit that brings medical and dental services directly to communities. The organization is governed by a dedicated board of directors composed of community members, patients, and healthcare professionals, all working towards improving healthcare access, reducing health disparities, and promoting overall wellness. They are recognized as a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).
