New name and logo reflect system's progressive growth and commitment to health and wellness

PAINESVILLE, Ohio, June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- After years of redefining health care in Northeast Ohio, Lake Hospital System has redefined itself. Lake Hospital System today announced that it has adopted a new name -- Lake Health.
