Affinity Medical Center was formed by a venture between two facilities: Doctors Hospital of Stark County and Massillon Community Hospital. The two hospitals became one organization in February of 2006 and all services were consolidated to the Massillon facility on September 4, 2008.
For over 140 years, the hospital has built a tradition of medical excellence in the local community. From the comprehensive inpatient programs, and trauma-certified emergency department, to the compassionate ambulatory care clinic, pain management and wound care services, inpatient rehabilitation unit and more; the caring staff at Affinity Medical Center are dedicated to providing the highest quality care to meet the needs of you and your loved ones. In addition, the hospital proudly continues to function as a teaching facility in collaboration with the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine training medical students.
Affinity Medical Center is by a local Board of Trustees comprised of physicians and members of the community.
Close to You
When it comes to the bond between our community and Affinity Medical Center, there’s no such thing as “close enough.” We know from experience that as our relationship with patients grows, so does the quality of services we provide.
Whether we’re investing in the latest medical technology or in ground-breaking procedures, staying close to you allow us to offer the best possible healthcare services for your individual needs. As your local hospital, no other healthcare facility understands those needs better then we do.
