A health clinic is set to open in East Palestine on Tuesday to assist residents following the train derailment earlier this month.
The clinic will be located at First Church of Christ on W. Martin Street and operated by the Ohio Department of Health. According to the health department, it will have two assessment rooms inside the building, as well as a mobile unit parked outside.
According to a news release, the site will have registered nurses and mental health specialists. Residents will also be able to speak to a toxicologist.
"Sometimes it just helps to get checked out. It helps with people's peace of mind," Mallory Aponick, a member of the church, said.
Residents are now able to call to set up appointments, either at 234-564-7755 or 234-564-7888.
