Save Lakewood Hospital ally Steve Dever has filed a formal request for Lakewood Hospital Association meeting minutes and related records, cleveland.com reported this week. As Dever and fellow legal professionals have discussed, many of these documents should fall within formal public records definitions; Dever adds that maintenance of public trust also argues for disclosure of precisely how Lakewood Hospital arrived at the crisis which Cleveland Clinic alleges.
The City of Lakewood is expected to respond to Dever’s request by the end of this week.
In other news, cleveland.com also published another letter supportive of keeping a full-fledged hospital operating in Lakewood.
