Quality Comprehensive Healthcare

Crossroad provides primary healthcare to residents of inner-city Cincinnati at a quality level that could be found in any suburban physician office. Services include general medical care for all ages, gynecology and initial prenatal care, counseling and podiatry. Bi-lingual Spanish healthcare professionals available. Emphasis is placed on educating patients about the value of leading healthier lives. Most commercial insurances accepted as well as Medicaid, Medicare and Self-pay at a sliding fee scale.

Since 1992, the Directors and staff of Crossroad Health Center have been quietly touching the lives of thousands of people living within inner-city Cincinnati. Founders of Crossroad decided to open the Center after discovering that many underserved Cincinnatians were not getting the level of healthcare that others in more affluent communities were receiving. These same healthcare professionals showed a dramatic level of commitment to their cause by living in the neighborhood they were going to be delivering healthcare services. They chose Over-the-Rhine, one of Cincinnati’s most socio-economically challenged neighborhoods. This focus on reducing health disparities has been a priority for Crossroad - long before the recent focus on “health disparity reduction” became popular.
