Telehealth at Crossroad: See Your Doctor From Home!
Now you can chat with a health care provider from the comfort of your home. All you need is internet access and a phone, smartphone or computer. You’ll save time and energy when you’re not feeling well – and you can usually get a same-day appointment.
A telemedicine appointment is like a regular appointment. You will sit in front of a camera where you will be able to see yourself and your health care provider on the screen. These appointments are also called virtual visits.
Telehealth is a convenient option if you’re out of town or feeling too sick to leave the house. In most cases, you don’t need to come into the office – or go the emergency department, where care is much more expensive and you’ll be dealing with a doctor who doesn’t have quick access to your medical records.
Do you have other questions about telehealth visits? Call to speak with a Crossroad scheduler and see if a telehealth visit is the right option for you. Over-the-Rhine: 513-381-2247; Western Hills: 513-922-4271; Harrison: 513-367-5888

UC College of Engineering Is Helping Crossroad Fight COVID-19
Thanks to the innovative thinking of the UC College of Engineering, Crossroad medical staff can now decontaminate their masks regularly.
“Our goals during this crisis are to serve our patients by maintaining access while also protecting our staff,” medical director Christy O’Dea, MD, says. “When we looked at our mask inventory, we weren’t sure we would have enough to keep our doors open, so we started looking for other options.”
Dr. O’Dea reached out to the School of Engineering for help. She was lucky enough to contact associate professor Mary Beth Privitera. They quickly connected, and Professor Privitera realized that she and her students were in the perfect position to help Crossroad. As their senior year project, Allison Garbo, Kellen Crosby and Sepideh Shanehsaz had developed a UC-V light box capable of decontaminating personal protective equipment. The box, originally targeted for delivery to Tanzania, was suddenly available when the trip was canceled.
The box uses UV-C light to disinfect protective gear, so we can extend the life of our masks. That lets us see patients who are sick but also protect staff. “It means so much that there are so many out there who are supporting us as health care workers on the front line,” Dr. O’Dea says. “The UV-C light box that the UC Engineering students made makes so much of a difference to us!”
Many thanks to Professor Privitera and the UC College of Engineering, for creating and delivering our new UV-C light box!

Crossroad OTR Named 2020 OTR Nonprofit of the Year by OTR Chamber of Commerce
Crossroad OTR was recognized as the OTR Nonprofit of the Year by the OTR Chamber of Commerce at a March 5 ceremony at Memorial Hall. Accepting the award was Crossroad CEO James Berrens (center), joined by the organization's founders (left to right): Julie Schubert, Dr. Chuck Schubert, Sally Stewart and Janet Germann.
The OTR Chamber offered this tribute: "Over-the-Rhine is special because it is home to not only small business and residents, but also dozens of pretty incredible nonprofits. Crossroad Health Center is one of those nonprofits, a faith-based setting serving patients of all economic levels, its sliding fee scale ensuring no one is turned away. The center has been rooted in OTR for 27 years, providing not just medical services, but all-around care, making sure you have the treatment you need and are connected to other people and organizations, as it takes a village. You’ll even find a school-based health center right down the street at Rothenberg Preparatory Academy so kids can get checkups right on the spot. Their years of demonstrated commitment and care to the people in OTR is why they are the OTR Nonprofit of the Year."
Congratulations to everyone at Crossroad for working together to provide affordable, accessible, high-quality health care to those most in need in our community. This award reflects a strong team effort not just at OTR but across all our sites.

It's Flu Season!
Take everyday preventative actions to help stop the spread of flu viruses! Avoid close contact with sick people, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, cover your coughs and sneezes, wash your hands often (with soap and water). Take antiviral drugs if your doctor prescribes them! 
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.

What patients say about us:
Valerie’s Story When Valerie and her five young children moved from Kentucky to Cincinnati, life changed for the family, and not always for the better. But one bright note was finding Crossroad. “I liked our pediatrician right off the top,” Valerie says. “She does an amazing job with our family. I knew I would want to stay with her as our doctor.” All five children deal with chronic health conditions, from ADHD to hearing loss to severe celiac disease. She adds, “Since going to Crossroad, the kids have been healthier. The staff make sure they get scheduled for regular checkups. Their asthma is under control, and they get their medications regularly.” The family has faced other struggles as well, including being homeless. Today, they are renting an apartment, and life is more secure. Good medical care is part of the picture, but there’s more. Staff have listened, hugged and supported them through challenging times. They’ve prayed with the family, and helped connect them to counseling. Valerie says, “We’ve hit some hard times. Our doctor made sure that Crossroad was aware. They helped with Christmas gifts, and even car seats when the girls were babies. Summing up her family’s experience with Crossroad, Valerie says, “They have amazing doctors, nurses and staff – I have recommended Crossroad to all my friends.” Thanks to our Crossroad staff for their outstanding care and support of our patients! |
