Euclid Hospital: Your partner in good health

Euclid Hospital is so much more than just a hospital. Home to one of our region’s leading orthopaedic and rehabilitation centers, including both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services, the 371-bed hospital offers a complete continuum of care including emergency services, acute and sub-acute care and outpatient care. But it’s also a health and wellness facility, open to all members of the community in times of sickness and in health, located on a 17-acre campus – complete with a healing garden – directly on the beautiful Lake Erie shoreline. It is the medical home for the community of Euclid.

While the hospital has served the community for many years by providing quality care in times of illness or injury, healthcare is changing, and Euclid Hospital is at the forefront of that change. 

“Traditionally, hospitals have been places where no one really wants to go,” said Mark Froimson, MD, Cleveland Clinic orthopaedic surgeon and president of Euclid Hospital. “But we are evolving from being a facility that provides sick care to one focused on health and wellness, where instead of caring just for those who become ill, we develop ongoing relationships with the people in our community and work with them to promote healthy living through education, routine screenings, and more.”

The hospital is already connecting with the community, partnering last fall with the City of Euclid in a successful effort to make all city facilities smoke-free.Euclid Hospital provides smoking education, through cessation and support classes; and has been working more recently with Euclid City Schools to educate students about the importance of developing healthy diet and exercise habits for life.

To officially launch this next transformation of Euclid Hospital, and to welcome the official start of summer, the hospital will host a Summer Solstice Health and Wellness Celebration on Friday, June 21, from 5 – 8 pm. All are welcome to attend and enjoy an evening filled with health screenings, physical activity, cooking demonstrations, visits with health professionals and more, all in a spectacular location.

According to Dr. Froimson, the Summer Solstice Celebration is an “opportunity for us to showcase our beautiful location, while at the same time increasing awareness of all Euclid Hospital has to offer, and to take a first step toward building long term relationships with those in our community to help them become advocates for their own good health.”
