MetroHealth board removes CEO for the second time in two years

00:00 For the second time in two years, the MetroHealth board has taken action to fire its CEO and president. Last Friday, the board terminated its employment contract with Dr. Airica Steed citing "poor performance" in doing so. We will begin Wednesday’s “Sound of Ideas” with Ideastream’s health reporters discussing the latest on Steed’s removal and what comes next for MetroHealth. 18:48 Later in this hour, when someone has a stroke, time is critical. The quicker a person can get treatment, the greater the chances they have of surviving the stroke and minimizing damage to the brain and body. 33:12 Finally, we will talk to a near-centenarian about his long life of service, from World War II to volunteering at Playhouse Square.
