MetroHealth Medical Hall of Honor

The MetroHealth Medical Hall of Honor exists to honor those whose outstanding service, innovation, and leadership has sustained our mission and inspired us to strive for excellence for our patients and this community over our long history.

About the Medical Hall of Honor 

The MetroHealth Medical Hall of Honor pays tribute to individuals who have transformed MetroHealth and the practice of medicine.

The Hall of Honor was established in 2011 to mark MetroHealth’s 175th anniversary. Over 140 letters of nomination were received from alumni, faculty and former faculty. A distinguished panel of MetroHealth physicians and volunteer leaders evaluated the nominations using a prescribed set of criteria and a rigorous rating system.

Honorees demonstrate academic excellence and superior evidence of innovation in medical education, research, patient care and/or health care management.

Twenty individuals were selected for the first class of the Hall of Honor. They were officially inducted at The Champions Ball on October 15, 2011.

The unveiling of the Hall of Honor, on May 16, 2013, was attended by several of the inductees, their families and friends. You can find the Hall of Honor in the Rammelkamp Atrium, where its engraved plaques provide testament to the visionary work of these MetroHealth luminaries.
