The Ohio Department of Health confirmed that it’s opening a clinic in East Palestine, Ohio, this week to deal with mounting health concerns expressed by locals after the derailment of a train earlier this month that was transporting toxic chemicals.

In a statement, the agency said it will open the clinic on Feb. 21 in East Palestine in conjunction with the federal Department of Health and Human Services and Columbiana County Health Department.
