SOMC currently has five Family Health Centers, one in Ironton, Wheelersburg, Portsmouth, Waverly, and West Union. These five facilities are designed as a faster alternative to an Emergency Department visit. We provide care for minor illnesses and injuries in a quick and easy manner. Colds, cough, flu, sore throats, ear aches, vomiting, allergies, rashes are just a few of the things that are treated here. We can also treat minor injuries involving cuts, sprains, and broken bones. Illnesses such as chest pain, severe abdominal pain, strokes or major trauma requires a trip to the Emergency Department.

Our goal at these facilities is to provide you with excellent service and to have you in and out within one hour. The Family Health staff includes a combination of physicians, certified nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, medical imaging technologists, registration staff and lab technologists.

All of our Family Health Centers also provide outpatient Lab x-ray services, CAT scan, and ultrasound. The Wheelersburg and Portsmouth locations also offer MRI.

The Waverly Family Health Center also offers consultations and follow up appointments with SOMC Specialists such as psychiatry, nephrology, and occupational medicine, in addition to full-time pediatric and family practices.

Note: All five Family Health Centers are open from 10am – 6pm on New Years Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Easter, and Labor Day. The Ironton, Waverly, West Union, and Wheelersburg Family Health Centers are all closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Portsmouth Family Health Center is open from 10am – 6pm on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
