Dr. Lash has a practice in the medical office building at Fulton County Health Center in Wauseon Ohio. He specializes in urodynamics, voiding dysfunction, infertility, female and male incontinence, erectile dysfunction, enlarged prostate, kidney and bladder stones, and also treats many cancers within that same realm.

Mountain Climbing – an adventure in self help for the person with diabetes – is a 12 month program designed to help those persons with diabetes learn and administer better methods of caring for a chronic disease. Each month a different area of the mountain is explored including nutrition, physical activity, medication, monitoring and more. In order to accommodate busy schedules, both a morning and evening class is offered at the hospital. There is a $5.00 monthly fee, with no extra charge for support persons attending. If you have questions, call the Diabetes Education office at FCHC at 419-330-2772.
