Hospital Changes a Good Thing

To the Editor:

I was heartened to read about the integration of services at Lakewood and Fairview Hospitals. It makes sense for the two hospitals located so close to each other to become more specialized in the services that they provide in order to better meet our health care needs.

The Cleveland Clinic is the area’s largest employer and is internationally recognized for developing innovative ways to provide excellent care to their patients. Westside residents are fortunate to be afforded access to highly specialized care in such areas as neurology, diabetes, cardiology, cancer, rehabilitation services, orthopedics and geriatric care in two excellent facilities that are so close to home. The Cleveland Clinic has certainly demonstrated their commitment to its regional hospitals by working effectively with the community to provide the finest care possible to area residents.

 

Sincerely,

Patty Ryan
