The Toledo Clinic

The Toledo Clinic is a physician-owned and led multi-specialty medical group serving the Toledo region of Ohio, Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan. Founded in 1926 and now approaching its centennial, the organisation brings more than 40 medical and surgical specialties under one umbrella, with more than 240 providers working across 62 locations.

The group's model is designed to give patients access to a wide range of care within a single organisation while retaining the personalised attention of a community practice. Clinical services span primary care, radiology (x-ray, ultrasound, MRI, CT and PET), laboratory diagnostics, oncology and cancer care, outpatient surgery, physical therapy and rehabilitation, and pharmacy services. Research and education programmes support the clinical work. The stated emphasis is on quality of care, spending more time with patients and keeping healthcare affordable.

Ownership and governance rest with the physicians rather than a corporate parent. The organisation describes its working culture in terms of teamwork, innovation and trust, drawing on a tradition established by its founding physicians of collaborative practice. It operates as an independent community provider while continuing to invest in the future of healthcare delivery in its region.
