An outpatient behavioral health clinic is opening its second location in Springfield today.

PATH Integrated Healthcare, located at 233 W. Pleasant Street, provides counseling, case management and nursing services including medication management.

To celebrate their grand opening, the organization will hand out free items like clothes, coats and hygiene supplies during the day. They will also serve a free lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Mandy Gabbert, a manager of human resources, operations and marketing at PATH Integrated Healthcare said they decided to open a second location because “the need is so great - particularly where the new location is.”

“Where this office is located, there’s a lot of homeless people that live near it,” she said.

She explained after opening their first location at 2057 South Limestone Street, their organization started working with Inside Out Youth by providing group and individual counseling. Gabbert said Inside Out also opened a warming shelter, providing another group of people that are in need of their services.

“Since it is all right there and we are all on the same property, we just decided to go ahead and open that office there,” Gabbert said.

PATH Integrated Healthcare has a zero barrier care philosophy to make sure there is no under-served community.

Gabbert said the behavioral health clinic works with individuals as young as three, all the way through the end of life.

Counseling services are available to adults, children, couples, families or groups, she explained. Case management services will assist with helping individuals find housing, food, clothing or other resources.

The new office has five rooms and seven employees including office coordinators, therapists, a nurse, a case manager and a nurse practitioner.

PATH Integrated Healthcare has other locations across Ohio including offices in Xenia and Fairborn.

“We’re here to help with any of the needs they might have,” Gabbert said. “We just really want to do as much good as we can.”

PATH Integrated Healthcare in Springfield is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. To schedule an in-person or virtual appointment, call 937-505-8992. For more information, visit www.pathihc.com.

The organization is also providing the community free hot meals 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Sundays at their Pleasant Street location and on Thursdays at their South Limestone Street location.
