On May 2, 2023, Kintegra opened the doors of its newest Family Medicine practices in Shelby – at the shopping area called ‘The Marketplace’ on E. Dixon Blvd.

Two KFM practices are actually side-by-side at this shopping center location.

The KFM Practice at 1760 E. Dixon Blvd is the new home for the entire clinical staff from KFM – Shelby, formerly located at 808 Schenck St.  The new location boasts larger clinical space for medical and behavioral health services and a new pharmacy.

 KFM just next next-door at 1758 E. Dixon Blvd., will initially offer Chiropractic Services starting May 2nd,  adding the full complement of family medical and behavioral health care later this summer.

We are pleased to bring this increased access to care to the residents of Cleveland County.

Kintegra Health is proud to be among this year’s recipients of this year’s  80% In Every Community National Achievement Award.

The American Cancer Society National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable (ACS NCCRT), founded in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), honored five organizations for their exceptional work to increase colorectal cancer screening rates across the U.S. with 2023

Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the U.S. While screenings for colorectal cancer are an important step in saving lives, only 59% of adults aged 45 years and older are up to date with screenings

The 80% in Every Community National Achievement Awards is a program designed to recognize individuals and organizations who are dedicating their time, talent and expertise to advancing needed initiatives that support the shared goal to reach colorectal screening rates of 80% and higher in communities across the nation. The awards include one grand prize winner and four other honorees, each of whom receives a monetary award to support continued efforts to increase colorectal cancer screenings.

In addition to Kintegra Health, this year’s awardees are: CommUnityCare Health Centers & Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX; Colorado Cancer Screening Program, Denver, CO;  Ohio Association of Community Health Centers, Columbus, Ohio; and Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, Seattle, WA.
