Check out the new signage! 🪧

If you’re looking at the main entrance of the Administration Building (where the elevators are) from the parking lot you will see a sidewalk to your right ➡️ and this sign too to help you get to our front door!!

Many people get confused when coming to our office, especially since we moved from the third floor of the Administration building (“old hospital”) in 2024 over to the two-story Annex building.
This move was very important to us as we are growing and assisting more veterans, their families and their survivors. This space allows us to assist everyone on the first floor, have space for storage, space to hold meetings and continue to grow and improve.

We are located on the same property, but we have different street addresses. Our parking lot spans between South Meridian and South Chestnut street. You can enter from either road and get to where you need to be however, be CAUTIOUS because the first driveway when coming from the north on Chestnut is an EXIT ONLY.

💥💥if you need assistance getting into the office, please don’t hesitate to call! 330–297–3545

1st Quarter of 2026 employee award recipient!

Sarah joined out team in fall of 2025. She came to us with a VAST knowledge of what seems like everything! She is a wonderful asset. If you don't know how to address something or where to begin to find the answers- Sarah is your gal!

She comes to work each day with passion in her heart and a kindness in her voice. When you call the office, she is most often the person you will speak with. When you come in, she's the one behind the big welcoming smile. No matter the task, she is always present and ready to dig in.

Congratulations Sarah!! We are so happy to have you part of our family and you are most deserving of this award.
