Adams County Regional Medical Center Adds Dr. Kristine Ross, PA-C Grace Rothwell

Adams County Regional Medical Center publicized Feb. 24, 2026 that two new primary-care providers joined its Family Medicine practice, naming PA‑C Grace Rothwell and a physician listed as Dr. Kristine Ross in the announcement headline and as Dr. Kristine Rosswell elsewhere in the same material. The publicity specifically said the additions serve Adams County residents in and near West Union and Peebles.

The announcement identifies Grace Rothwell with the credential PA‑C but does not include her start date, clinic assignment, or whether she is accepting patients. ACRMC’s published item gives her professional title but omits office addresses, appointment phone numbers, and hours for the new Family Medicine providers.

The physician’s name appears with two spellings in materials released around Feb. 24: the headline uses Dr. Kristine Ross while a separate excerpt within the same publicity lists Dr. Kristine Rosswell. ACRMC’s public text supplied to this reporter did not resolve the discrepancy or provide Dr. Kristine’s medical degree, board certifications, prior hospital affiliations, or the clinic site where she will practice.

ACRMC’s Feb. 24 publicity arrives amid other recent service and staffing notices from the health system. An ACRMC news post credited to Jason Francis announced that "Jordan Thompson is now accepting new patients at ACRMC Family Medicine in Peebles. Walk-ins are also welcomed." Another ACRMC item states, "The Adams County Regional Medical Center (ACRMC) is proud to announce the addition of physical therapy to their list of services at ACRMC Family Medicine located in Mt. Orab, Ohio," adding that "the new physical therapy department offers patients a comprehensive range of rehabilitation services, from pre- and post-surgery care to chronic pain management." ACRMC also lists a headline that it "Earns The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval®" in its news feed.

From a public health and community access perspective, adding two primary-care clinicians to Family Medicine could expand appointment capacity for residents of West Union and Peebles, but the lack of published start dates and clinic assignments leaves the timing and location of that impact unclear. The physical therapy expansion in Mt. Orab and the stated Joint Commission recognition provide additional context for ACRMC’s recent service growth and quality claims.

ACRMC’s Feb. 24 publicity did not include direct quotes from the new providers, detailed bios, or scheduling information for Rothwell and the physician whose surname appears in two variants. The Highland County Press is noted to have republished the announcement in part, but the republished copy supplied to this reporter was truncated and did not clarify the physician’s correct last name. Confirmation of the correct spelling of Dr. Kristine’s name, the providers’ start dates, clinic addresses in West Union or Peebles, and whether they are accepting new patients remains pending from ACRMC.
