In 2021, a fire shut down a health center in the Hough neighborhood. News 5 went back to see when it plans on reopening.
As Northeast Ohio Neighborhood Health Services, Inc. President and CEO Willie F. Austin points out, negotiations continue with insurance, but he hopes to begin restoration work in the next two months."It’s almost like building a new building," he said."We’ve got to do restoration work from the top floor down through the basement."
"That’s the only clinic that did everything for us," patient Linda Taylor said."Getting health care, [pediatrics], dental records, birth shots, that clinic did everything in the neighborhood. There’s really nowhere else for us to go." Austin helped design the building back in the 1970s and that unanswered question still makes him wonder.
"I wouldn't even want to begin speculating on how and why that fire started," he said."I will only say that is awfully convenient. It started 10 minutes after our late evening service, so that's about 10 minutes after 9 p.m."
