Board of Trustees
Boards of Trustees: Dedicated Leadership from Our Communities
Since its founding by local communities more than 100 years ago, Southwest
General has enjoyed a unique partnership with the communities it serves.
Today, the health center is supported by a self-imposed tax levy in Berea,
Brook Park, Columbia Township, Middleburg Heights, Olmsted Falls and Strongsville.
Representatives from these communities serve on Southwest General's board
of trustees, helping to promote effective communication between the health
center and its constituencies.
