MetroHealth's 52-acre campus will have 25 acres of green space


The Cleveland-based MetroHealth System is adding more green space to its campus, creating a "hospital in a park," according to an article on the Fierce Healthcare website.

MetroHealth's 52-acre campus' 1 to 2 acres of green space will increase to 25 acres.

The added parks and green space will include walking paths and a wellness garden and be open to the public.

The primary goal is to make it easy for patients to arrive and park at the hospital and get to their destination without delays, anxiety or confusion.
