LUCASVILLE, Ohio — Adena Health opened its first physical location in Scioto County on Monday, launching a new family medicine clinic that began seeing patients the same afternoon.
Adena Family Medicine-Lucasville, at 37B Lucasville Minford Road, marked the opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday morning, according to Adena Health. The clinic gives Scioto County residents a local option for primary care from a health system that has otherwise operated outside the county.
“I’ve been hearing about Lucasville since I joined Adena in 2017, so I’m especially excited to see this come to life,” Kathi Edrington, Adena’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “Having primary care close to home is so important. This clinic gives residents a place to turn for preventive care, help managing chronic conditions, and the everyday healthcare needs that come with every stage of life. And as part of the Adena family, patients will also have access to a much broader network of care and specialties when they need them.”
The clinic provides family medicine services for patients of all ages, including annual physicals, pediatric care, sports physicals, wellness visits, immunizations and preventive screenings, according to Adena Health. Providers will also manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and asthma.
“You can have the best doctors, the best nurse practitioners, and the best procedures, but if people can’t access that care, it doesn’t make a difference,” said Justin Smith, a doctor who serves as chief of staff at Adena Pike Medical Center and sits on the Adena Board of Trustees. “Having this clinic in Lucasville gives Scioto County residents another option for quality primary care close to home. And having providers who live in this community, whose families are here, and whose children attend local schools, makes this even more meaningful. They’re invested in the health of the people they serve.”
The Lucasville clinic is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Patients can schedule an appointment by calling 740-351-7025 or visiting Adena.org/Lucasville, the health system said.
The new clinic comes as Adena continues to expand its footprint across the region, including a new Adena Fayette Medical Center campus under construction ahead of a planned 2027 opening.
