The organization employs dozens of healthcare professionals across its clinics and school-based care programs.
Vision and Mission
Vision:
To create accessible healthcare systems that meet patients where they live, work, and learn.
Mission:
QuickMed aims to expand access to high-quality care through community-based clinics, urgent care services, and school-based health programs. The organization focuses on improving healthcare equity, reducing barriers to treatment, and providing efficient care for underserved populations.
Company Success Story
QuickMed began as a response to a clear healthcare gap in the Mahoning Valley. Founder Lena Esmail saw patients struggling to access basic care due to long wait times, limited provider availability, and transportation challenges.
Instead of relying on traditional hospital systems, QuickMed built a network of community-focused clinics staffed primarily by advanced practice providers. The model emphasizes accessibility, flexible hours, and neighborhood-based care.
The first clinic opened in Liberty, Ohio. Over time, the model proved effective. Patients returned because appointments were available quickly and providers spent time addressing their concerns.
Today QuickMed operates clinics in multiple cities including Akron, Austintown, Columbiana, Cortland, Medina, Ravenna, Strongsville, Warren, and Liberty. The organization also partners with school districts to provide on-site care that helps improve student health and attendance.
