MetroHealth Promotes Vehicle Safety
Kia and Hyundai vehicles have increasingly become targets of thefts both in the Cleveland area and nationwide. In an ongoing commitment to safety for employees, MetroHealth will distribute steering wheel locking devices – often known as “The Club” – at no charge to employees who own Kia and Hyundai vehicles.
"This is something simple we can do to promote safety and to help ease the stress our team members may feel while their vehicles are parked, not only at work but anywhere," says Olusegun Ishmael, MD, MBA, Chief Operating Officer/President of the Hospital Division. "We want to provide an atmosphere that allows our staff to continue providing outstanding care to our patients and the community."
Distribution details will be shared with employees soon. Any remaining devices will be offered to employees who own other vehicle makes.
This initiative is being led by Dr. Ishmael; MetroHealth President & CEO Airica Steed, Ed.D, RN, MBA, FACHE; and Frank Bova, Chief, MetroHealth Police Department.
MetroHealth is committed to ensuring the safest possible environment at all its sites for its caregivers and the individuals they serve.
