By Tom Moore Dec 17, 2020 (Cleveland) - Lake County's major health care system will soon become part of University Hosptials. Lake Health has agreed to join UH, becoming the flagship community-based health care provider for Lake County. The deal has been approved by both the Lake Health and University Hospitals boards, but it is still subject to regulatory approval. Both sides say the move will assure access to advanced health care and services for patients in Lake County now, and in the future. “Our goal has been, and continues to be, to provide access to the highest quality care for the people of Lake County and surrounding communities, right here at home,” said Cynthia Moore-Hardy, president and CEO of Lake Health. “Joining UH will enable us to enhance existing health care services close to home and continue to improve health outcomes for the community.”
