Take Steps to Lower Infant Mortality in Hamilton County
At Crossroad, we are fortunate to be able to provide prenatal care to our patients and help reduce the high infant mortality rate in our city. Hamilton County, unfortunately, has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the United States. In 2018, 92 babies in Hamilton County died before they reached their first birthday. There is also a large racial disparity in our infant mortality rate -- black babies have a three times higher risk of death than white and Hispanic babies. Black women in Hamilton County who are interested in finding solutions to the higher black infant mortality rate are invited to participate in Queens Village. This is a community of powerful black women of childbearing age that come together to relax and take care of one another. They meet the first Wednesday of each month from 6 to 8 p.m. at the McKie Recreation Center (1655 Chase Avenue, Cincinnati 45223). |

Patient Input Benefits Crossroad
For more than a year, Crossroad's Patient-Family Advisory Council (PFAC) has been meeting at our Over-the-Rhine site. The council includes patients and staff who gather monthly to discuss ways to improve our health center -- for example, starting walk-in hours for established patients at OTR and making new patient paperwork easier to navigate. Kudos to Dr. Christine Furgason for leading this project, as well as to staff who regularly attend the meetings. Particular thanks go to our amazing group of patients who come each month and give us valuable feedback on what we can do better. Following our success at OTR, we hope to develop PFACs at the other sites. Watch for more details soon. Welcome to Crossroad Health Center! We are here to be your partners in achieving and maintaining good health. At Crossroad, we create a “medical home” where more than 11,000 patients have easy access to medical and behavioral health care services. Without Crossroad, these patients would not receive the high-quality and comprehensive health care they experience here, regardless of their ability to pay.
For 25 years, we have built enduring relationships with patients who have struggled to find high-quality and affordable health care. With a bond of trust firmly in place, Crossroad is changing lives by uncovering critical needs beyond the physical. Crossroad is a federally qualified health center, and provides high-quality medical care for children and adults at our five locations. We offer care for illnesses, routine checkups, immunizations, preventive care and more. Crossroad Health Center provides primary health care to children and adults in Greater Cincinnati. Crossroad strives to provide care that treats the whole person -- body, mind and spirit -- regardless of ability to pay. Crossroad provides a sliding fee scale for patients with no insurance, with a minimum co-pay of $15. Medicaid, Medicare, most commercial insurances and self-pay are accepted. A bilingual staff provides culturally appropriate services to Spanish speaking patients.

Patient Survey Reveals High Satisfaction
The results are in -- and more than 98% of our patients said they would send their family and friends to Crossroad. That's even better than last year's patient satisfaction survey rating, as measured by the Midwest Clinicians' Network (MWCN), and surpasses their average of 97.3%. Highlights:
I have referred many friends/family here...I have gotten the absolute best care possible here. Crossroad has helped me & supported me in improving my general health & being 5 years clean & sober. I never feel judged or uncomfortable here & I hope I can remain a patient here forever. Started seeing a doctor here because it was all I could afford with no health insurance. Now, I wouldn't want to change doctors, even though I may be able to afford to! LOTS OF SPECIAL KUDOS to providers and their team. Thanks to our great Crossroad staff for their care and support of our patients! |
