No matter the health care need, Cleveland Clinic Avon Hospital is ready to help. The five-story center attached to the Richard E. Jacobs Health Center outpatient facility opened in 2016 and has 126 inpatient beds, including a 12-bed intensive care unit, a 10-bed step-down unit and 20-bed observation unit. The Avon Hospital has six operating rooms, a cardiac catheterization lab and a 24/7 emergency department, as well as outpatient imaging and services.
“We’re dedicated to providing comprehensive care to patients in Lorain County, western Cuyahoga County and other nearby counties,” says Avon Hospital President Rebecca Starck, M.D. “Avon Hospital is part of a very system-oriented practice model where we can link patients seamlessly between outpatient care and inpatient care so they don’t run the risk of not knowing their own medical or surgical history. Our Avon location repeats the great care Cleveland Clinic is known for, but closer to home.”
“The fact that it’s an easy drive right off the highway,” she adds, “was a key feature as to why Avon made sense for us.”
Starck applauds the success the North Coast Chamber of Commerce has with bringing businesses together to focus on community needs. She meets monthly with members to discuss how to break employment and workforce development barriers and works closely with Lorain County Community College’s nursing program.
“The North Coast Chamber of Commerce and Cleveland Clinic are all about collaboration in the community,” Starck says. “And it’s not just business. We want Avon and surrounding communities to be the healthiest in terms of health care, good nutrition, access to jobs and economic growth. We partner with various agencies throughout our community to make that happen.”
