Ribbon cutting held for
hospital’s urgent care
By Josie Sellers
Coshocton Regional
Medical Center’s
new urgent care offers
patients low-cost walk-in
visits, seven days a week
with extended evening
hours.
The new facility officially
opened on Sept. 8
at 406 S. 15th St., Suite 2,
Coshocton, across from
the hospital. A ribbon
cutting to mark the new
addition to the hospital’s
services was held on
Sept. 3.
“This is a much-needed
facility in our community,”
said Amy Crown,
executive director of
the Coshocton County
Chamber of Commerce.
Stephanie Conn, CEO
of the hospital, was excited
to welcome everyone
to the ribbon cutting.
“Thank you for coming
out for the opening
of our urgent care,” Conn
said. “This has taken a
long time of planning
and preparing, but now
starting Sept. 8, we will
have a high-quality staff
running it seven days
a week. This will help
people be seen quicker
for issues that might not
require a trip to the emergency
room. Thank you
to everyone who worked
hard on this and for all
the preparation that went
into it.”
Coshocton Regional
Medical Center’s urgent
care will be able to care
for patients after hours
and on weekends when
their doctor’s office is
closed, providing a lowcost
option for individuals
that need to be seen
by a medical provider
and cannot wait until the
next day or over a weekend.
The clinic also will
create an option for individuals
to seek care who
do not have an established
primary-care
provider. Urgent care
will provide a variety
of services for patients
with general illnesses
and injuries including
on-site X-ray for breaks
or fractures and on-site
EKGs. Results of on-site
X-rays and EKGs will
be interpreted during the
patient’s visit, and a plan
of care will be identified
immediately.
“Accessible health
care is very important to

the city, along with technology
and education,”
Mayor Mark Mills said.
Mills encouraged
everyone in the community
to utilize the new
resource.
“Even if you haven’t
had the best experience
here (at the hospital),
give it a try,” Mills said.
“Stephanie (Conn) and
her team have worked
hard to rebuild what’s
here and make it even
better. Like everything
else, if we support each
other, we all win.”
Max Crown, safety
service director for the
city, also addressed those
involved with getting
the urgent care started.
“Thank you for the time
you put in to get this up
and running and for all
the work you do at the
hospital,” he said. “We
appreciate all you do for
our community.”
Urgent care’s hours
will be Monday through
Friday from 10 a.m. to
8 p.m. and on Saturday

themselves and pray and
seek my face and turn
from their wicked ways, I
will hear from heaven and
will forgive their sins and
restore their land.”
The Return is designed
to be a gathering to encourage
people to gather, fast,
pray in sincerity and repent.
Accordingly, The Return
is a national observance of
prayer scheduled for Sept.
26 in Washington, D.C. that
focuses on five acts that
lead to God’s redemption of
the human condition.
The acts include repentance,
a 180-degree turnaround
in a person’s heart
and mind to turn away
from a sinful, self-centered
way within; reconciliation,
a change in the relationship
between God and man
that involves acknowledging
a break has occurred,
forgiveness and letting
go of offenses; restoration
in one’s relationship
with God; revival that is
maintained by obedience
to the Holy Spirit and being
obedient to God’s Word;
and reformation, where, as
churches and individuals
humble themselves, pray,
and repent of personal,
national and corporate sins,
revival and the favor of God
will occur.
Subsequently, Cahn
and Jessip will be joined
on Sept. 26 by a group of
religious leaders on board
with The Return such as

King’s niece Alveda King
and many others at the
nation’s capitol where they
will pray. They will pray
for America, its leaders
and for people all over the
globe. This National Day
of Prayer will take place
in other cities, communities
and churches across
America at the same time.
As a matter of fact,
right here in Coshocton
there will be a group of
pastors, reverends and
spiritual leaders from all
across the county who
will meet together at the
court square on Saturday,
Sept. 26 from 5-8 p.m. to
pray for the community;
its police departments,
EMTs, mayors and city
council members; and the
nation. The event will be
open to the public, and
everyone is invited to
attend. Hand sanitizer, ice
water, masks and Porta
Potties will be available
to those in attendance.
Attendees are asked to
bring their own chair.
There will be live music
at the event and individuals
sharing their testimonies.
During the evening different
areas will be prayed
for, and pastors will speak
about depression and other
topics.
“We want Coshocton
to know we appreciate the
county. The country isn’t
going the way it should,
and we want to be there for
people in this great time of
need. People are looking for
hope, answers and prayer,
and we want to be there for
them,” said Mark Aaron,
one of the planners for the
event.
Aaron explained there
will be tables set up where
people can go and speak to
a pastor or spiritual leader
regarding questions they
have, struggles they are
having, or if they want
someone to pray with them.
Aaron encourages
those who are unable to
attend the event to participate
from where they are
that day by taking time to
stop what they are doing,
examine their hearts, and
repent and get right with
the Lord.
Similarly, Cahn said
in his video announcement,
“(The Return begins
now) with you and me as
we commit this time and
this year for return, prayer,
repentance and revival; to
commit, first, to our own
repentance and to begin
actually living in revival,
and then to pray for others,
the return and revival of our
nation, and the world.”
Aaron said it feels good
stepping out to make a difference
and said prayer is
the lifeline and communication
with God.

Day of Prayer can be found
