This is Firelands

Firelands Regional Medical Center is the area's largest and most comprehensive resource for quality medical care and is annually voted as one of the best places to work in the area. Resulting from the consolidation of what once were three separate hospitals serving the area, Firelands Regional Medical Center now serves as the only full-service medical center in Erie County. Firelands provides the area with a level 3 trauma center, a certified stroke center, and a long list of many medical services offered nowhere else locally. Firelands Regional Medical Center is locally managed and governed as a not-for-profit healthcare facility.

At Firelands, we recruit and retain associates, physicians and volunteers who show exceptional attitude, commitment, and enthusiasm who ACE it every day for our patients and each other.
