Meet Our Sheroes
Each year since 2018, the MetroHealth Women@Metro committee has honored extraordinary women who share MetroHealth’s passion for improving the health and well-being of everyone in our community. We call these women “Sheroes.”
This year, we’re honoring four Employee Sheroes and four Community Sheroes for their outstanding effort, dedication, tenacity and passion for making the world a better place.
We had to get creative with the award presentations this year because of COVID-19. Our Sheroes received our sincere thanks with tokens of appreciation, special Home of a Shero yard sign, and a financial donation made in their honor to the nonprofit organization of their choice.
