Salem Regional Medical Center's pediatric primary care offices in Columbiana and Salem will soon join Akron Children's Pediatrics network.

The offices are set to join the network early next month, according to a news release from Salem Regional.

"Columbiana and Salem will join our East Liverpool and Lisbon offices in serving Columbiana County, increasing our network to 44 primary care locations," said Brian Dinger, vice president of the Akron Children's primary care network.

Specifically, the Columbiana office will open Aug. 5 in a new office at 116 Carriage Drive in the Firestone Farms TownCenter. Meanwhile, the office in Salem will open Aug. 6 at its current location.

Now that these offices have been absorbed into the network, customers will get multiple benefits including email and video visits with their providers, an after-hours nurse line and access to Akron Children's experts.

Despite making this change, the same doctors that already work at these offices will still be there, according to a news release from Akron Children's.

"Our decision to transition these practices to the Akron Children's Pediatrics network will help ensure that families continue to receive the same high-quality medical care they have come to trust from our providers," said Anita Hackstedde, president and CEO of Salem Regional Medical Center.
