If medicine is a calling, MetroHealth's new President and CEO Christine Alexander-Rager, MD, has been on call for as long as she can remember. Wanting to be a doctor from a young age, Dr. Alexander served as a physician with MetroHealth for nearly three decades. During this time, Dr. Alexander founded MetroHealth’s nationally recognized School Health Program, which partners with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and other school systems to bring in-school clinics, mobile units, and other services to students and their families. She also sparked the creation of MetroHealth’s medical outreach to the homeless.
As of October 2024, she has served as the System's President and CEO, and is clear about her top priority. “I think I’d like to be known as the CEO who really focused us on the importance of patients and the importance of our collective community,” she says.
Join us at the City Club as The Center for Community Solutions' Emily Campbell sits down in conversation with MetroHealth's Dr. Christine Alexander-Rager on the progress, challenges, and future vision for The MetroHealth System.
