Massillon Community Health Expands Integrated Ecosystem with Pretorian Labs, ACCESS CARE, and Catalyst Performance

October 17, 2025 – Massillon, OH — Massillon Community Health (MCH) today announced major developments in its rapidly growing health and wellness ecosystem with the addition of three cornerstone partners — Pretorian Labs, ACCESS CARE, and Catalyst Performance — advancing its mission to deliver an integrated, data-driven, and community-centered healthcare model.

Located on the former Massillon City Hospital campus, MCH is transforming the site into a replicable, multi-tenant hub that blends clinical care, preventive wellness, and innovation to improve health outcomes while fostering economic revitalization.

“With ACCESS CARE now open, Pretorian Labs joining our diagnostics platform, and Catalyst Performance leading our metabolic recovery and development programs, MCH has transitioned from concept to full-scale execution,” said Chris Zimmerman, Chief Executive Officer of MCH. “We’re creating a model that not only meets the immediate healthcare needs of our community but attracts forward-thinking tenants and investors eager to be part of something transformative.” .

ACCESS CARE, operated by OVP Health (OVP), is now open and serving patients. The clinic offers walk-in urgent care, sports physicals, pre-employment health assessments, sports physicals and flu shots with behavioral health, and specialty programs slated to open in the coming months.

Pretorian Labs, one of the nation’s fastest-growing full-service laboratories, is integrating advanced diagnostic capabilities — including infectious disease, toxicology, hematology/chemistry, and anatomic pathology — into MCH’s network. This partnership brings precision testing directly to the community, reducing turnaround times and empowering providers with real-time data.

“MCH represents the future of accessible, science-driven healthcare,” said Carmen Melillo, CEO of Pretorian Labs. “Together, we’re closing the gap between laboratory accuracy and community access — bringing better care to more people, faster.”

Rounding out the ecosystem is Catalyst Performance, led by John Cominsky, former NFL player and Director of Metabolic Training and Development at MCH. Catalyst focuses on performance, recovery, and metabolic health, bridging the gap between athletic training, physical therapy, and wellness for adults and athletes alike.

“This partnership represents the perfect intersection of medicine, performance, and community,” said Cominsky. “We’re building strength, recovery, and resilience — not just for athletes, but for anyone striving to live better.”

“MCH was built to go beyond traditional healthcare,” said Lindsay Haupt Dierdorf, Chief Marketing Officer of MCH. “It’s a living ecosystem that connects urgent care, diagnostics, behavioral health, and performance — all while offering a scalable model for investors and providers ready to reshape the future of health.”
