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). |

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:
Clyde’s Story 50-year-old Clyde felt hopeless and depressed. Homeless and estranged from his family, his health was also suffering. He had not seen his doctor in a long time and came to Crossroad to get checked out. She addressed his medical concerns and brought him up to date on preventative care. Then, noticing his depression, she arranged an on-the-spot meeting with one of Crossroad’s behavioral health counselors, who talked with Clyde and developed a treatment plan. Encouraged by his doctor’s caring approach, Clyde opened up about his struggle with addiction. She quickly connected him with a Crossroad provider who has a special interest in assisting patients to overcome addiction, who provided him with information about where to get help. Clyde admitted he had lost touch with his former church and believed that reconnecting spiritually with a church might help lift his depression. one of our spiritual care committee members was able to give him a list of local churches. And he was hungry, so his doctor brought in our family resource coordinator, to help him find local food resources. Because Crossroad cares for the whole person – body, mind and spirit – we are able to provide Clyde with the care and services he needs. “I feel so loved and cared for,” Clyde said. “I am happy to call Crossroad my medical home.” Thanks to our Crossroad staff for their outstanding care and support of our patients! |
