In this episode of The Current by TreasureCoast.com, Dr. Richard Rothman, Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital, joins the show to discuss the current state of healthcare in Indian River County. Dr. Rothman shares data-driven insight on maternity services, including a neonatal mortality rate 80% lower than elsewhere in the county. The conversation explores Cleveland Clinic’s investments in labor and delivery, cardiac surgery, oncology, and cognitive care, while also addressing the real financial pressures hospitals face in maintaining these services. Dr. Rothman explains how outcomes, not headlines, drive care decisions and why sustainable growth must be aligned with actual community needs.
