Who We Are.

At Lake Effect Health, we believe in delivering exceptional care where it matters most—directly to our patients. Founded in 2018 by Dr. Seana Rutherford, Lake Effect Health is a nurse-practitioner-led private medical group based in Cleveland, Ohio. Our mission is to provide on-site primary care and acute care services with a focus on accessibility, compassion, and evidence-based practice.

By bringing care to patients in their own environments, we aim to reduce barriers to healthcare while fostering strong provider-patient relationships. Our team is dedicated to tailoring treatments to each individual's unique needs, ensuring every patient receives the highest quality care possible. Whether addressing chronic conditions, managing acute illnesses, or supporting overall wellness, Lake Effect Health is committed to helping our patients achieve better health and improved quality of life.

What We Do.

We offer comprehensive primary care services, including routine medical care, Medicare Annual Wellness Examinations, hospitalization follow-ups, acute or “sick” visits, medication reconciliation, wound care, podiatry services, palliative and hospice referrals, and fall assessments. Our team brings care to patients in their private homes, assisted and independent living facilities, senior apartments, group homes, and independent living centers throughout Ohio.

To further simplify the healthcare process, our office handles all necessary orders for home health agencies, hospice or palliative care, durable medical equipment (DME), oxygen, wound care supplies, and medications. Follow-up visits can be scheduled in advance or on an as-needed basis to ensure continuity of care.
