BUILDING A BRIGHTER FUTURE

THE METROHEALTH SYSTEM 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

MISSION

Leading the way to a healthier you and a healthier community through service, teaching, discovery and teamwork.

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

To care for everyone – no matter how sick or how poor.

The leaders of Cleveland founded City Hospital on that promise.

And as we grew and became MetroHealth, we kept that promise, for 180 years.

A few years ago, we made another promise to this community: We would rebuild our main campus hospital – the hospital for all people – so everyone in Cuyahoga County would have access to high-quality, affordable health care that heals and lifts them up.

Plans are underway to reconstruct the West 25th Street campus. As significant as this is, we know it’s not enough.

We can do more. And we will.

We will build a brighter future for this community, not just with bricks and steel, but with a broader – and deeper – commitment to our mission. As you’ll read in this annual report, we are improving our neighborhood, nurturing our community, promoting learning and working toward equality in health for everyone.

And we plan to continue that – for another 180 years and beyond.

McDonald Partners, LLC

Our standout event of the year was selling the bonds to finance the new hospital. We might be the only public hospital to ever do that and our success was fueled by our financial performance in the last few years, backed by our consistent quality care. I look with optimism and excitement toward our future and what it will mean for our community.

It’s an honor and privilege to serve as chair of The MetroHealth Foundation Board of Directors and work with such a highly engaged group of civic leaders.

Together, we have the opportunity to benefit our region by promoting innovation, development and programming.
