80-bed recovery center closes at Massillon health hub after 8 months

MASSILLON – A drug and alcohol recovery center operated by Ohio Valley Physicians Health has closed after about nine months inside a revamped health hub. The 80-bed addiction recovery facility opened in February at the Massillon Community Health & Innovation Center , 870 Amherst Road NE, which is the former site of Affinity Medical Center. It shut its doors on Oct. 16 due to apparent medical reimbursement shortfalls. Chris Zimmerman, chief executive officer of Massillon Community Health, said he's working on "a viable replacement" to occupy the former recovery center's space, adding that the process has been encouraging. A phone message left with a representative from OVP on Oct. 28 was not immediately returned. The recovery center was expected to bring in dozens of long-term jobs to Massillon, said Jackie Rebman, director of inpatient behavioral health for OVP, told The Independent in late February. Between $500,000 and $1 million of renovations had been made in preparation for the two-floor, rehab center in early 2026. Biz moves: Massillon residents voice concerns about new data center near school Services offered at the facility included inpatient detox and care, medication for substance disorders; mental health treatment; group, couples and family therapy; overnight care

Massillon's Brayton, Brydon Feister remain eligible for OHSAA playoffs

(This story has been updated to include new information.) The Ohio Supreme Court has effectively assured the eligibility of Massillon football players Brayton and Brydon Feister. On Nov. 5, the high court dismissed an Ohio High School Athletic Association complaint against three 5th District Court of Appeals judges. Association attorney Joseph Fraley sought to overturn an appeals court action which had restored eligibility to the brothers. "We are pleased that the Ohio Supreme Court recognized the importance of student athletes to continue to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said Canton attorney Lee Plakas, who represents the Feisters. OHSAA attorney Joseph Fraley, of Westerville, had hoped for the best but prepared for the worst. "We knew it was a bit of a procedural longshot," he said. The Tigers host Columbus St. Francis DeSales in a Division II, Region 7 quarterfinal at 7 p.m. Nov. 6 at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium. Feister brothers court fight The 5th District had granted an emergency order on Oct. 16, making the Feister brothers eligible for the rest of the season.
