Advanced Practice Provider-County Correctional Healthcare


The MetroHealth System is redefining health care by going beyond medical treatment to improve the foundations of community health and well-being: affordable housing, a cleaner environment, economic opportunity and access to fresh food, convenient transportation, legal help and other services. The system strives to become as good at preventing disease as it is at treating it. Founded in 1837, Cuyahoga County's safety-net health system operates four hospitals, four emergency departments and more than 20 health centers.

Because of the strong commitment to the needs of the community, the MetroHealth System has built a new 110-bed inpatient behavioral health hospital in Cleveland Heights, Ohio with specialized units serving adolescents, geriatrics, adult psychiatric intensive care, adult substance use disorders, adult thought disorders, and adult mood disorders. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment programs will be attached to this hospital as well.
