Clinic Prioritizing Black Women's Health Opens 2nd Location in Cleveland

The Village of Healing Expands Its Reach

A clinic that keeps Black women in mind celebrated its 3rd anniversary with the grand opening of a second location. The Village of Healing was born out of concern for health care disparities experienced by Black women and children in Cuyahoga County.

“When I came here to Village of Healing it immediately changed my mind about healthcare altogether,” said patient Angel Jacobs. Jacobs has been coming to Village of Healing since it opened three years ago in Euclid. “They understood exactly what I was going through. And they talked to me in a way that allowed me to understand what I needed to do to get healthier, to get better and to maintain not only my health but my mental health,” Jacobs said.

Celebrating Access to Culturally Sensitive Care

Showing her gratitude, Jacobs celebrated the grand opening of their 2nd location in Cleveland’s Buckeye-Shaker community. Founder Dana Langford said 40% of their Euclid patients came from the area. “The whole purpose of Village of Healing is access to culturally sensitive care. So if 40% of your patients are coming from one location, you need to take the care to them,” Langford said.

In three years, Village of Healing produced promising results for Black women and children, working to do their part in lowering local maternal and infant mortality rates.
