Mercy Health hosts listening sessions on future of health care in region

0

Mercy Health assumed ownership of the buildings and assets of the former McLaren St. Luke’s Hospital on June 2, paving the way for continued health care in the Maumee, Perrysburg, Waterville and surrounding communities.

Mercy Health has planned a series of community listening sessions that will focus on garnering input in three areas:

What health care access points are needed

What community involvement should Mercy Health engage in

Types of health care services 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 Tuesday from 6-7 p.m. at Bowling Green State University at Levis Commons, 1655 N. Wilkinson Way, Perrysburg, rooms 102 and 103
