Hospital Infrastructure in Ohio

Ohio operates 188 hospitals with over 30,000 beds, anchored by the Cleveland Clinic, one of the most famous hospitals in the world and a perennial top-five ranked facility nationally. The state is a major national hub for healthcare delivery and medical research, with the Cleveland Clinic, Ohio State Wexner Medical Center, and Cincinnati Children's Hospital all ranking among the nation's best. Ohio's three C cities (Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati) each host major academic medical centers. OhioHealth and Mercy Health are the state's largest health systems by number of facilities. The state's hospital infrastructure serves both a large urban population along the I-71 corridor and extensive rural communities in Appalachian southeastern Ohio. The Cleveland Clinic's heart and heart surgery program has been ranked number one in the nation for nearly 30 consecutive years. Cincinnati Children's Hospital is consistently ranked among the top three pediatric hospitals in the country. Ohio's hospital systems have expanded through mergers, with Cleveland Clinic operating facilities in Florida and other states.
