++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + ++++++++++++++++++++++++ HOSPITAL ROUNDS +++ +++ Cleveland Clinic has opened its new health center in East Cleveland, which has been named in honor of longtime public servant and advocate Stephanie Tubbs Jones. The Stephanie Tubbs Jones Health Center is a three-story, 50,000-square-foot center located on Euclid Avenue. The $25 million health center is designed to reach beyond traditional healthcare services and link with community resources in one location to make it easier for patients and their families to access the healthcare, social and fi nancial services they need. Dunlap Community Hospital may become a subsidiary of Aultman Health Foundation, according to a letter of intent signed in July. Under the arrangement, Dunlap will continue to operate as a critical access hospital, and the current management team will remain in place. The intent is to preserve existing services at Dunlap and expand access to ad- ditional services and specialty care. The fi nal agreement is expected to be completed this year after further details are completed by both hospitals and the proposed arrange- ment is submitted to the state of Ohio. Lake Health's Breast Center has been granted a full three-year accreditation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a program administered by the American College of Surgeons. During the survey process, Lake Health's Breast Center demonstrated compliance with standards es- tablished by the NAPBC for treating women who are diagnosed with the full spectrum of breast disease. Those standards include profi ciency in the areas of center leadership, clinical management, research, community outreach, professional education, and quality improvement. Mercy Medical Center recently became the fi rst hospital in Northeast Ohio to achieve the College of American Pathologists CAP 15189 (SM) accreditation based on the quality stan- dards outlined by the International Organiza- tion for Standardization (ISO). The accredi- tation focuses on improved patient safety and risk reduction, outlining standards for quality and competence particular to medical laboratories. CAP 15189 (SM) is a voluntary, non-regulatory accreditation to the ISO 15189:2007 Standards as published by the In- ternational Organization for Standardization. Medina Hospital now offers PET/CT onsite. The Cleveland Clinic mobile PET/CT scan trailer is now stationed in front of Medina Hospital every Wednesday. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomogra- phy (CT) are both standard tools that physi- cians use to pinpoint disease in the body. Combining these two state-of-the-art tech- nologies and allowing physicians to examine a patient's entire body helps determine the extent of the disease, prescribe treatment, and track progress. MetroHealth kicked off its 175th anniversary year with a black-tie event, The Cham- pions Ball, on October 15.

The Champions Ball included the fi rst induction ceremony for the MetroHealth Medical Hall of Honor. The Hall of Honor was established to celebrate the physician and administrative leaders who helped MetroHealth achieve its 175th year milestone.

CARF noted many strengths, including an attractive, well- appointed unit; a respected program director; knowledgeable corporate leadership; a sup- portive organization; and a strong, cohesive interdisciplinary team.
