Five Rivers is a Dayton-based federally qualified health center, which serves patients on a sliding-fee scale based on income. Federally qualified health centers are governed by patient-majority boards and typically have high numbers of patients with Medicaid.
Dr. Nancy Hesz and Dr. Thaddene Triplett continue to provide pediatric care for newborns and children.
“We are happy to become part of the Five Rivers Health Centers team,” Hesz stated. “This is a positive move for our patients and staff and we look forward to continuing to serve children in Greene County.”
