About MetroHealth Medical Center
As Cleveland's first hospital and the largest
on the city's west side, the 731-bed MetroHealth Medical Center
is the flagship unit of the MetroHealth System. The medical center
provides a full range of general and tertiary services for the
acutely ill, while rehabilitation services are provided through
MetroHealth Center for Rehabilitation.
As a principal teaching center of the CASE
School of Medicine, MetroHealth maintains a fine tradition of
academics and research. All active staff physicians are full-time
faculty of the CASE School of Medicine and actively participate
in undergraduate and graduate medical education. Intensive training
for physicians and medical professionals is offered in more than
25 medical specialties.
In 1995 the 6 story $30 million dollar
Charles H. Rammelkamp Center for Education and Research opened
on the MetroHealth Medical Center Campus. The facility is home
to the Clinical Ethics Program with offices on the 3rd floor.
The Clinical Ethics Program at MetroHealth is a cooperative effort
of the CASE Department of Bioethics and the MetroHealth System.
