History

History of MetroHealth
Founded in 1837 MetroHealth has the longest history of any Cleveland health care organization The name has changed over time from City Hospital to City Infirmary to Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital to The MetroHealth System but the mission has remained the same to improve the health of our community

Back in 1837 that mission drove our forebearers to centralize health care services for people suffering from the physical and mental distress associated with poverty smallpox and cholera Today we remain the safety net for the most vulnerable among us but we have taken on much greater responsibilities and redefined what it means to be a leader in community health

We are Clevelands largest provider of communitybased health services and the regions leader in providing critical care and rehabilitation services Our vision is to be a national leader in public health by developing programs that serve as a national model in improving access to high quality and costeffective care
