From MERCY HEALTH
Mercy Health assumed ownership of the buildings and assets of the former McLaren St. Luke’s Hospital on June 2, with ythe intent to provide continued health care in Maumee, Perrysburg, Waterville and surrounding communities. In keeping with its commitment to engage community members on the future of health care in the region, Mercy Health has planned a series of Community Listening Sessions.
The sessions will focus on garnering input in three areas:
What health care access points are needed?
What community involvement should Mercy Health engage in?
What types of health care services are needed in the area?
McLaren announced in early March the decision to close St. Luke’s Hospital and related outpatient services. Since this announcement, Mercy Health has hired 410 McLaren St. Luke’s employees; assumed the sponsorship of the McLaren St. Luke’s physician residency program; and hired 22 WellCare Physician Group providers.
The public is invited to participate formulating next steps in Mercy Health’s planning of the campus and outpatient facilities.
Come hear what plans are already in place and have a say in the future of health care in the community.
