CONNEAUT - - Brown Memorial Hospital in Conneaut is no more.
In keeping with the policy of University Hospitals, the facility now has a new name - - UH Conneaut Medical Center.
Crews are installing signs with the new name, and receptionists and correspondence now reference the new moniker.
The hospital is throwing a community carnival between 1 and 4 p.m. Oct. 7 to celebrate it's new identity, according to a statement. Games for children, music and activities will be featured, as well as the unveiling of the hospital's new sign.
UH is renaming all it's operations in similar fashion for the sake of consistency and to reflect it's location, said Ernst Weninger, hospital spokesman. -All are now known as medical centers.-
The hospital board, comprised of local residents, endorsed the change, said member Tim Kraus.
-The suggestion came out of Cleveland, but it came to the local board for us to examine,- he said. -The board had the opportunity to nix the idea or change it.-
One big selling point is the new version puts the city' name in the title, Kraus said.
-Conneaut wasn't in the name of our hospital,- he said. -It's an opportunity to put the Conneaut name out there.-
