Summit Community Care Clinic Unveils Rebrand Amidst Funding Challenges

New CEO josh Cogdill, who took the helm in September, announced plans for a rebrand and addressed the clinic’s financial challenges during a recent council briefing.
For nearly three decades, the clinic has provided integrated medical, dental, and behavioral health services, earning recognition as an authorized Federally Qualified Health Center. this designation ensures access to care for all, regardless of their ability to pay.
“I’m not trying to change who we serve … or say we’re no longer a provider of healthcare,” cogdill explained,”but I think a new name will help with (increasing the institution’s recognition).”
The rebrand, driven by the clinic’s expanding reach beyond Summit County and a desire for increased visibility, will be unveiled at the annual fundraiser in March.
While looking towards the future, Cogdill also acknowledged the clinic’s current financial strain. A combination of factors, including a surge in uninsured patients and reduced revenue sources, has created a $276,000 wage shortfall, impacting 46% of employees.
A significant contributor to the budget crunch is a 20% cut in Medicaid revenue, amounting to over $437,000. Cogdill emphasized the urgency of addressing this issue, stating, “That should go up by another 3,000 or so when we have the final numbers by the end of december.”
To combat these challenges, cogdill is actively seeking donor support and prioritizing wage increases to retain valuable staff. The clinic experienced a near 40% employee turnover rate in 2024, highlighting the critical need for competitive compensation.
Cogdill has bolstered the clinic’s leadership team with the addition of Amanda Craig as Chief financial Officer and Jesse Carrajat as Chief Operating Officer. Craig brings 16 years of experience working with Federally Qualified Health Centers, while Carrajat’s past collaboration with Cogdill promises to strengthen the organization.
As Summit community care Clinic navigates these challenges and embraces its new identity, its commitment to providing accessible, quality healthcare remains unwavering.

The tiny house movement, once a fringe concept, is gaining mainstream appeal, with suburban backyards becoming the latest frontier. Homeowners are increasingly drawn to the simplicity, affordability, and environmental benefits of these compact dwellings.
“Its about living intentionally,” says Sarah Miller, a suburban mom who recently added a tiny home to her property.”We wanted a space for guests, a home office, or even a rental unit, without the commitment and expense of a traditional addition.”
Tiny homes,typically ranging from 100 to 400 square feet,offer a unique solution for a variety of needs. They can serve as guest houses, home offices, art studios, or even rental units, providing extra income for homeowners.
