About This Business

MetroHealth is a renowned healthcare system that has been redefining health care for over 180 years. Founded in 1837, the system operates with a mission of service to its patients and the community, striving to become as good at preventing disease as it is at treating it. The system's highly qualified team of healthcare professionals, including over 600 doctors, 1,700 nurses, and nearly 9,000 employees, work together to provide exceptional care to its patients. One of the key services offered by MetroHealth is its Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), which is dedicated to the care of premature and frail babies. The NICU is equipped with state-of-the-art monitoring equipment and staffed by a team of nationally recognized and board-certified neonatology experts, including physicians, registered neonatal nurses, neonatal nurse practitioners, nutrition specialists, and other healthcare professionals. These experts have years of experience in caring for the sickest and tiniest babies, with some having worked in the NICU for over 20 or 30 years. The NICU's expertise is reflected in its outcomes, including infant survival rates that have matched or exceeded the national average. The unit provides around-the-clock care and attention to its young patients, with specialists available to provide additional care as needed. Parents are encouraged to participate in their baby's care, including attending morning rounds to discuss their baby's treatment plan and ask questions. MetroHealth's commitment to community health and well-being extends beyond medical treatment, with initiatives aimed at improving access to affordable housing, a cleaner environment, economic opportunity, and other essential services. As Cuyahoga County's safety-net health system, MetroHealth plays a vital role in the region, caring for anyone and everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. With a network of four hospitals, four emergency departments, and over 20 health centers and 40 additional sites throughout Cuyahoga County, MetroHealth serves over 300,000 patients, with two-thirds of them being uninsured or covered by Medicare or Medicaid. Through its comprehensive range of services and commitment to community health, MetroHealth is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of its patients and the community it serves.
