Ground broken on new medical facility
CANFIELD, Ohio (WKBN) – Ohio Lt. Governor Jim Tressel attended a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday for a new building at MCCTC. Tressel talked about the amazing foresight someone had years ago to buy the Canfield property and what it's become today. He's also excited about the next step — a new health and wellness center at MCCTC. 'Together, we are building more than a health center. We are building a healthier, stronger and more connected community,' said Kathleen Harley, president of St. Elizabeth Youngstown. The center will expand access to primary and walk-in medical care, including mental health services. It will also create a school-based health clinic and strengthen healthcare training programs. 'The center is more than just a building. It's a bold statement about what we value as a community,' said Matt Kriesic, CEO of Cadence Care Network. The health and wellness center is costing $7 million to build. Over $5 million of that is coming from an Appalachian Community Innovation Centers Grant Program. When finished, the center could serve more than 6,500 people a year, right on location in Canfield. 'So this is critical, what we've always been doing here and now mesh it with health care,' Tressel said. Tressel said Ohio will have about 500,000 more jobs by 2030, and MCCTC has been training people for in-demand careers. 'The workforce needs are extraordinary, but really, we look at it as the workforce opportunities,' Tressel said. The Health and Wellness Center will be open to all. It will offer walk-in care, enabling patients to see a primary care physician the same day with no appointment needed. 'Primary care is the front door to health care, and we know that access improves the outcomes of health,' Harley said. It puts health care and a clinic where people are and ties it to the community. MCCTC is again in the middle of making a difference. 'I can't wait till you come up with one more thing to build. Every time we come out here, he's expanding, making a difference. Construction is expected to be complete in the summer of 2026. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Two arrested on felonious assault charges after gunfire on West Side
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — Two men are expected to be arraigned later Monday in municipal court on felonious assault charges after police answered a pair of gunfire calls late Friday into early Saturday on the West Side. Read next: MCCTC student killed in Portage County rollover crash Austin Smith, 28, and Zachary Tomlin, 30, are both charged with felonious assault, a second-degree felony. They will both be arraigned via video hookup from the Mahoning County jail. The two were arrested after police were called about 11:15 p.m. to the 200 block of Matta Avenue, where a woman told police she was at a concert with Tomlin when her husband — who is named in reports — texted her and said he wanted to meet her to talk. Reports said the woman's husband pulled up at a nearby home and Tomlin was standing outside. Tomlin fired several shots at the husband before running away, reports said. Reports said police found five 9mm shell casings in the street but Tomlin managed to elude officers who were looking for him. About an hour and 15 minutes later at 12:30 a.m. Saturday, police were called to a parking lot at Mahoning and Wesley avenues for a report of a fight with gunfire. Smith was arrested a short time after police arrived. Reports for the second incident are hard to read because of several redactions due to Marsy's Law, but Lt. Mohammad Awad of the Detective Bureau confirmed that the arrests of Smith and Tomlin are related. No one was injured. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
