Access Tusc

Our Mission:

Access Tusc will actively collaborate, educate, and coordinate social and health services of Tuscarawas and surrounding counties to establish effective relationships to improve access and integrated care for the communities that we serve.

Why Access Tusc?

Tuscarawas County is home to a broad network of social service and health organizations. All of these organizations are here to provide support to the citizens of Tuscarawas County, but sometimes it’s difficult to know where you should go to find the help you need. Access Tusc was formed for this purpose. Approximately 24 partner organizations united in late 2014 to provide a common resource to our community. As a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization, we are passionate about connecting community members with the services they need.

Partner Impact Statements

“The Tuscarawas County Senior Center strives to meet the needs of the 50 North population. The growing challenges means looking beyond our walls for resources. Partnering with Access Tusc has been instrumental in connecting our members and their families with healthcare providers, behavioral health providers, health insurance, financial assistance, employment, domestic violence advocates, and more.
