Deals with Lake Health and Western Reserve give University Hospitals ‘all the pieces of the puzzle
Dr. Cliff Megerian, president and incoming CEO of UH
In the final months of 2020, University Hospitals rounded out a year of great uncertainty financial and otherwise with two deals that significantly expand the health system s regional footprint.
In November, the system gained a minority interest in Western Reserve Hospital, an independent, physician-owned hospital in Cuyahoga Falls, giving UH its first inpatient location in Summit County. In December, Lake Health agreed to join University Hospitals, ending the Lake County health system s search for a partner that began in early March, just days before the first cases of COVID-19 were detected in Ohio.
