Steward Medical Group’s newest expansion in Austintown was born of a lifelong friendship between Dr. James Shina and Dr. Christopher Raymond, and their passion for the community.

The new building at 1440 S. Canfield-Niles Road houses Steward Primary Care, Steward Multispecialty Care and Raymond Chiropractic. Uniting those methods of care under one roof, Shina said, improves access for patients in a community that has traditionally been short on specialty care. Click HERE.
