The slide showing "SWOT: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats" lists as one of two strengths, "Current Cleveland Clinic relationship is considered to be strong."
The Cleveland Clinic is Lakewood's current and proposed future partner.
As shown in the Subsidium slide below, that partner is the cause/controller of a majority of the weaknesses and threats to Lakewood Hospital.
Another slide shows "Risks and challenges to the future of the hospital." Again, Lakewood's partner is shown as a competitor and a challenge.
Has the Cleveland Clinic been a good partner?
Have they been good enough for Lakewood to give them a sanctioned monopoly on healthcare opportunities in our city?

Steve,
The answers to your questions are unequivocally:
No.
and
No.
CCF, with Summers' complicity and approval, has intentionally weakened and threatened Lakewood Hospital.
Summers and Butler are intentionally and willfully ignoring the simple and undeniable facts set forth in the same expert report they claim supports their concocted "negotiating" strategy and scheme.
All of people at the "negotiating table" are the same people that manufactured the "crisis" to avoid accountability for their own actions and obtain illicit benefits for themselves and their cronies.
This corrupt conspiracy is but one reason that Lakewoodites should support the charter amendment.
