With rise in COVID cases, ACMC begins new visitor restrictions
Due to the increasing prevalence of COVID-19 in Ashtabula County, ACMC is changing its visitation status. The new restrictions mean no visitors may accompany a patient. Exceptions will be made for compassionate care and patients requiring special assistance.

Family Medicine Specialist Feras Hamdan, MD
ACMC welcomes Family Medicine specialist Feras Hamdan, MD, to the Geneva Family Health Center. He sees alongside Emily Cheich, DO, and Kathleen Shontz, NP. Prior to joining ACMC, Dr. Hamdan completed his Family Medicine residency at Case Western Reserve University – MetroHealth Medical Center. Dr. Hamdan said he works closely with his patients to ensure they fully understand their illness or disease, as well as the possible treatment option. “I want to communicate clearly what is going on with my patient. Without good communication, treatment may not be as effective. I treat people the way I want to be treated,” he said. Dr. Hamdan also encourages patients to make lifestyle changes that could prevent future health disorders. “I am a firm believer that the best medicine is preventative medicine. When we diagnose a health risk early enough, there is time to change the potential outcome. It is never too late to live a healthy life,” he said. Geneva Family Health Center is located at 1028 South Broadway Street in Geneva. Dr. Hamdan sees patients ages 2 and up. You can schedule an appointment with Dr. Hamdan by calling 440-997-6969.
ACMC Center for Sleep Medicine
A good night’s sleep is refreshing and makes for a productive next day. A bad night’s sleep can hurt productivity at work, school, and home. While an occasional bad night’s sleep is nothing to worry about, if the bad nights are more frequent than the good, you may be one of 40 million Americans who have a chronic sleep disorder. Common sleep problems include sleeplessness or insomnia, restless leg syndrome, snoring, sleep apnea, and sleepwalking. ACMC has been offering testing and treatment for sleep disorders since 2003. The ACMC Center for Sleep Medicine is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and The Joint Commission. Get to the bottom of your sleepless nights by calling ACMC’s Center for Sleep Medicine. A provider order is needed for a sleep study. To contact the ACMC Center for Sleep Medicine, call 440-997-6744.
