MetroHealth Kicks Off Campus Transformation

CLEVELAND, Ohio — MetroHealth celebrated the start of its $1.2-billion campus transformation on Monday, Sept. 14, a multi-year project that hospital executives said will better align the organization with patients’ needs.

The work is kicking off with construction of a 75,000-square-foot, 85-room critical care pavilion that will house the sickest patients and serve as the primary intake valve in a mass disaster event. Although construction began weeks ago, MetroHealth held a beam signing for the facility with county officials on Monday morning.

The campus transformation is expected to include additional fitness and community wellness resources, along with upgraded facilities and new ways of delivering care both at the bedside and via the Internet.

The critical care pavilion is scheduled for completion in July 2016.
