The tour will include stops at: OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital, Third Street Family Health Services, Avita Health System – Ontario Hospital, Cleveland Clinic Cancer Center – Mansfield, Akron Children’s Pediatric Health Center and Urgent Care – Mansfield, David F. Winder VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic, and Nationwide Children’s Hospital – Mansfield.
