State plans to replace aging Toledo psychiatric hospital
COLUMBUS — The building that houses Northwest Ohio Behavioral Healthcare has reached the end of its useful life and requires a full replacement, according to the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health. The department discussed its plans to replace the state-owned and operated psychiatric hospital at 930 S. Detroit Ave. in a funding request that was approved by the Ohio Controlling Board on Monday. Northwest Ohio Behavioral Healthcare provides inpatient care for acutely mentally ill adults from northwest Ohio. The facility was renamed from Northwest Ohio Psychiatric Hospital in 2024, while its overseeing agency, formerly the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, changed its name in 2025. The Ohio Controlling Board released approximately $2.9 million for the department to enter a contract with LevelHEADS Inc. The architectural firm was selected by both the department and the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission to support all phases of the design and construction process. Vanessa McMahon, legislative liaison for the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health, said the building was originally designed as a geriatric facility in the 1970s. “The building is really old,” Ms. McMahon said. “There are places that just aren’t as safe as they could be for a psychiatric hospital.” She

Rising fuel, health care costs burden Ohioans, Acton hears in Fremont
FREMONT – Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton talked about the costs of fuel, health care and energy when she stopped at Outpour Coffee for a roundtable with local businesses as part of her “My Promise for Ohio” Tour Oct. 13. Acton also spoke with Sandusky County residents about their frustrations and needs from the state. “I was the first to call for a gas tax holiday. That was because I was listening to Ohioans everywhere I go," Acton said. "I was hearing stories, just like we heard today, of people who aren’t making trips for routine care, for things like exercising and for things like getting their health care, or going to a doctor’s appointment, because the cost of fueling up is so much." “We all know what it means for the cost of gas for our car, but I can tell you, if our cars run on gas, this economy runs on diesel. Our farmers are struggling with the price of diesel right now, and even small business owners are often being charged surcharges because of the fuel prices right now. So, this is a real calamity.” Acton also linked higher energy prices to data center growth and

Northwood schools’ administration building will soon be home to a health center that will be open to students and the general public. The Wood County Health Department and the Northwood schools on Wednesday celebrated the future Northwood Community Health Center at 700 Lemoyne Rd. Lindsey Ruivivar, CEO of the Wood County Community Health Center, said the health department and the school district began talking about the community health center in 2024. “There was a gap in services in the north end of the county,” Ms. Ruivivar said. “Working with [Superintendent Jason] Kozina, his staff, and City Administrator Kevin Loughlin has been wonderful. They really care about their students and the broader community.” The district has provided 3,200 square feet for the school-based health center. The first phase will renovate approximately 1,100 square feet to create two medical exam rooms and a lab. In the future, the remaining space will be renovated to add dental and mental health services as well, Ms. Ruivivar said. The renovation is set to begin Monday.
