from the presidents Warm wishes for good health Winter can be a challenging time for our health. As we begin the flu season, we see skiing and sledding accidents, falls on ice, and cases of hypothermia, frostbite and pneumonia. And during the season’s long, dark days, many people suffer depression. Yet amid winter’s challenges, there is much to celebrate. There are the holidays, mugs of hot chocolate, winter sports fun and cheery blazes in fireplaces. And when it comes to your health, it can give you a warm glow to know that three outstanding Cleveland Clinic hospitals—Fairview, Lakewood and Lutheran—are in your neighborhood. As the new presidents of Lakewood and Lutheran hospitals, we are delighted to continue a tradition of caring and high-quality care. We like to think of our patients as members of our extended family. After all, it is our mission to provide patient-focused healthcare that meets your needs and that stresses quality, compassion, teamwork and community relationships. Perhaps it will make winter a little more bearable knowing there is a warm, welcoming place to go for your healthcare. It can also give you a good feeling to realize that the caring atmospheres at Fairview, Lakewood and Lutheran are backed by some of the most advanced medical techniques and equipment available, along with medical personnel who are among the most respected in Northeast Ohio.
