Cleveland Clinic, TriHealth leaders on recent cardiovascular care affiliation

Getting Health Care Right

In December, TriHealth announced an affiliation with the top-ranked Cleveland Clinic Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute with the goal of building on its regionally leading heart and vascular program and delivering the highest quality of care possible to patients.

“TriHealth will continue to see its own patients, but we’ll be collaborating on optimizing patient care,” says Dr. Suma Thomas, vice chairman of strategic operations with the Cleveland Clinic Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute in this episode of Getting Health Care Right.
In this podcast, Thomas outlines the advantages of the affiliate program along with Dr. Kathryn O’Keefe, a cardiac surgeon at TriHealth, and Mark Witte, vice president of clinical service lines at TriHealth. Cincinnati Business Courier President and Publisher Jamie Smith hosts the conversation.
