Update: It’s August 22, which means Huron has ceased providing “inpatient, emergency and trauma services — the latest step in streamlining the amount of patient care at the hospital before it permanently shuts its doors Oct. 3,” according to Cleveland.com. Just an FYI.

Some public service loose ends in healthcare…
When the Cleveland Clinic officially announced it was closing Huron Hospital, a 90-day timeframe was put in place to shuffle operations, patients, etc. out of Huron and to other facilities.
That 90 days is coming soon, so on August 22 the Clinic will end operations there, closing inpatient, emergency, and trauma. Outpatient care will continue through October 3. 19 Action News says the Clinic will offer free shuttle trips for Huron patients to Euclid, Hilcrest, or South Pointe on weekdays.
Adjust your illnesses and ailments accordingly.

So now we know that the citizens of East Cleveland don’t count. Thanks to Cleveland Clinic, we no longer have to wonder about it.
Yall shouldn’t be surprised. Back in 1991, Furious Styles was explaining this to Tre and Ricky in Boyz N The Hood, it’s all apart of Gentrification. Watch, after most of the residents die off or move further into the suburbs, someone will turn East Cleveland and Cleveland Heights back into thriving suburbs. No one is in the business of helping people anymore. It’s all about the benjamins baby. Once EC’s government reached a “financial settlement,” with Cleveland Clinic, they threw in the towel.
