Kno-Ho-Co-Ashland Health Services

Kno-Ho-Co-Ashland Health Services operates as a vital component of the Kno-Ho-Co-Ashland Community Action Commission (CAC). The CAC is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) social service organization established in 1966 under the "War on Poverty" initiative. Its overarching mission is to identify and address community needs, with a primary focus on reducing poverty-related adversities across Knox, Holmes, Coshocton, and Ashland counties in Ohio. Within this broader framework, Kno-Ho-Co-Ashland Health Services specifically concentrates on providing accessible and comprehensive health care. Their core offering includes affordable, confidential, and professional reproductive health care services. This encompasses a wide range of services such as family planning, comprehensive women's health care, health screenings and testing, various contraception options, and assessments and treatment or referral for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). They also offer anonymous HIV screenings, education, and counseling. A key aspect of their service delivery is their commitment to affordability and accessibility. Services are charged utilizing a sliding fee scale, ensuring that quality healthcare is available to individuals regardless of their ability to pay. They accept all insurance plans and are always taking new patients. Beyond reproductive health, the Kno-Ho-Co-Ashland Community Action Commission provides a diverse array of other social services, including emergency assistance (rental, utility), housing programs, head start programs, home weatherization, and senior services, all aimed at fostering self-sufficiency and improving the well-being of the communities they serve. Their Health Services are crucial in contributing to the overall health and welfare goals of the broader Community Action Commission.
