MERIDIAN LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE: Meridian HealthCare recently launched a totally redesigned website that prominently features newer service offerings and bolsters user experience.

The change coincides with Meridian’s goal of providing integrated health care for whole-personal health and wellness while providing a simplified, more intuitive user experience for both members and providers, according to the company.

The updated website at meridianhealthcare.net gives visitors a seamless experience, the company said. Visitors will notice a patient portal for appointments, simplified navigation and updated resources that focus on community education and support.

Meridian HealthCare teamed up with iSynergy, a Canfield-based digital marketing agency, for the website’s development and to activate the project with an advertising campaign centered around the concept of “hope.”

QUICKMED RECEIVES GRANT: QUICKmed Urgent Care has been chosen as the only for-profit organization to receive a grant awarded by the Ohio Department of Health and the Ohio Department of Education to increase the number of school-based health centers in qualifying schools.

QUICKmed will partner with the Salem City School District in Columbiana County and Liberty Local School District in Trumbull County to place medical clinics on their campuses.

The $1.8 million awarded to QUICKmed, Salem City and Liberty school districts will extend to 2024 and cover operational and capital expenses. Available services in the clinics will include medical, dental, mental health, audiology and ophthalmology. The clinics will be open during school hours and available to students, staff, and families.

The medical services are free to uninsured students, and there is no insurance requirement for family members.

Funding for the grant is through the American Rescue Plan Act with additional funds available through the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund.

McDONALD’S RAISES FUNDS FOR HURT WORKER: TomTreyCo McDonald’s, one of the largest franchisees in the nation, helped raise more than $30,000 for McDonald’s manager Stephanie Tubb, who was badly hurt when she was hit by a garbage truck while walking to work at a McDonald’s in Sharon, Pa.

The Mahoning Valley McDonald’s Owner Operators also participated in the fundraising effort, according to a news release.

Because of the crash, Tubb had to have both legs amputated above the knee.
