The Independent MASSILLON – Gina Durst has utilized medical services at the Massillon Health Department for as long as she can remember. Durst, 52, was among the approximately 130 people who took advantage of a COVID-19 vaccine clinic Wednesday at the health agency, which is located inside the St. James AME Zion Church and not far from her city home. "I've always used it, and my family has, too," said Durst, who on numerous occasions has received medical vaccinations and attained medical records from health professionals at the department. The days of many municipal health facilities in Ohio — including Massillon — may be numbered, as the state Legislature considers a proposal to reduce the amount of smaller departments statewide and have them merge with county agencies.
