About Us :

UH Lake West Medical Center is a 237-bed, full-service community hospital serving the residents of Willoughby and the surrounding communities. Our medical staff includes more than 600 high trained providers in over 25 medical specialties.

University Hospitals Lake West Medical Center dates back to 1961 as part of the Lake Health System.

Lake Health began in 1902 when the New Connecticut Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) formed Painesville Hospital, the first chartered hospital in downtown Painesville. In 1924, the Lake County Commissioners took control of the hospital and it was renamed Lake County Memorial Hospital.

In 1959, the new 141-bed Lake County Memorial Hospital-East opened. This facility, located in downtown Painesville, would later be renamed Lake East Hospital. Two years later, the county built a new 185-bed hospital named Lake County Memorial Hospital-West in Willoughby, Ohio. It was the second hospital to be built in Lake County and would later be renamed Lake West Hospital.

In 1984 the Lake County Commissioners and hospital trustees agreed to change the system to a private, not-for-profit entity called Lake Hospital System. Four years later, in 1988, Lake Hospital System partnered with University Hospitals to introduce the Lake/University Ireland Cancer Center. This was the first partnership between the two entities.

In 2009 Lake Hospital System changed its name to Lake Health – a change that emphasized the shift from sick care to a focus on lifelong health and wellness. On April 16, 2021, Lake Health joined University Hospitals.

My wife was brought in because of chest pains. She was having a heart attack. The ER staff was fabulous. Took care of her quickly and efficiently and an RN explained to me in detail everything that was going on. Dr. Nasif was excellent putting in a stent. She was back home in just over 48 hours. Great job by the entire staff.

Unfortunately I got very sick with pneumonia. I had a 5 day stay at UH Lakewest. I have to tell you that there is nothing negative about my experience. Of course, I didn't want to be there but I knew that I had to stay. The care I received was amazing and wonderful. The nurses, Sabrina, Rey, Regina and others were so compassionate and empathetic. If I had to go through this again, I would do it exactly how it was at UH Lakewest. I could tell that the employees love what they are doing. Super caring. Thank you so much.
