Thanks to Ogre’s Bears for Burns, more than 2,000 new plush friends just arrived at MetroHealth in Cleveland, ready to bring comfort and smiles to pediatric patients. Founder Matt Whaley knows firsthand how much a small gesture matters—he started this mission after surviving severe burns as a teen. Over 70,000 stuffed animals later, his dedication hasn’t wavered. These toys aren’t just cute—they help kids cope, offer choices, and even support families during the hardest moments.

Since stepping in, she’s tackled tough financial challenges head-on—think executive pay cuts, layoffs, and site closures—while still boosting patient numbers and revenue. The board says her leadership is restoring trust and keeping the hospital’s mission front and center. For Clevelanders, this could mean more consistent care and a stronger safety net, even as MetroHealth navigates tough times.
