Cleveland EMS began administering whole blood on June 4, EMS Commissioner Orlando Wheeler said. As of Wednesday, the department has given blood transfusions to eight people. “Within six hours of going live, we had two transfusions in the field,” Wheeler said.

City officials and local health advocates are watching a lawsuit facing Northeast Ohio Neighborhood Health Services with concern about what it could mean for healthcare access on Cleveland’s East Side. A private equity company said in a lawsuit last week that Northeast Ohio Neighborhood Health Services defaulted on an $11 million loan meant to help rebuild its Hough health clinic, which burned down in 2021.
