Health Essentials - Spring 2012 - Euclid - (Page 2)

WHAT’S NEW Change is good Welcome to the spring issue of Health Essentials. As our community gears up for the warm weather months, so do we here at Euclid Hospital. While we enjoy the change in seasons, we are busy preparing for a change in how we reach out to you. This summer, our Cleveland Clinic community hospitals will introduce a redesigned and more comprehensive Health Essentials publication. Throughout Northeast Ohio, Cleveland Clinic has eight community hospitals and 18 family health centers located in neighborhoods near you. As a health system, we are working together more closely than ever to provide you with easy access to the continuum of care that you and your family need for optimum health. From a doctor’s ofﬁce visit to a hospital stay, a surgery or the unexpected emergency department visit, we are located nearby and we are here to give you the right care at the right time in the right place. Now, we are coming together to bring you a more robust regional publication. Starting with our summer issue, our newly designed Health Essentials magazine will feature health news from all of our East Side hospitals and family health centers. We will continue to offer the same valuable information you have come to expect from Health Essentials, but will go further to help you become familiar with your regional healthcare community. Along with a fresh new look, Health Essentials will include some exciting new columns and interactive features to help keep you informed of the latest health and wellness news and trends. As always, thank you for putting your trust in Cleveland Clinic. Our hospitals and family health centers are privileged to serve you. Starting this summer, we look forward to providing you with news you can use in a dynamic new magazine. Stay tuned for the new Health Essentials coming to your mailbox this August.
