Allysen, Lead APP

MetroHealth feels like a community hospital but has all the resources of a large academic teaching hospital. The people I work with are caring, compassionate individuals who keep up with the latest developments and provide the utmost care to patients. I am consistently inspired by my peers and the environment here.

Abdulla Ghori, MD, FAAP, Department of Pediatrics

I started here a quarter of a century ago, and month after month, year after year, my appreciation for MetroHealth has gone up by leaps and bounds. I'm able to do the right thing for my patients at the right time, supported by this system. There are a lot of experiences on a daily basis that motivate us to do even more for our patients.

Jacalyn, Lead APRN, Department of Internal Medicine

What sets us apart is our care for the community. Not only are we known for providing high quality care, but MetroHealth also gives back by creating greenspace, housing and fresh food and markets for our patients. This is an excellent place to work, with a good work-life balance and excellent benefits — both are always a plus!

Tonjeh Bah, MD, Hematology/Oncology

I work with a special group of patients with cancer or other blood diseases. We fast become family, because you walk with them as they go through their cancer journey. It's very rewarding. You come in wanting to help and you leave very happy. Even if it is in just one person's life, I'm thankful I have that opportunity to make a difference.

Gaby Khoury, MD, Family Medicine

MetroHealth brought the best out of me as a physician and as a human being, as well. Every day brings special challenges and opportunities, but you drive home full of gratitude, gratification and hope, and you'll be looking forward to another day and its own blessings that it brings.

Advanced Practice Providers

We have been steadily adding advanced practice providers and now have close to 500 within the organization. APPs are supported by physician colleagues and treated respectfully — you won't hear "mid-level provider" used here, as we do not provide mid-level care. We have a great group of APPs in hospital medicine and advocates for APPs throughout the organization.

  • Advanced practice providers are integrated into our medical staff and are voting members.
  • We offer new graduate APPs a Transition to Practice Program based on their specialty, and all APPs participate in an onboarding program.
  • MetroHealth also sponsors two APP conferences annually for continuing education.
  • We have roles for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses across our system, as well as Physician Assistants in areas including Neurosurgery and Trauma, Emergency Department and Emergency General Surgery.
