Cleveland Clinic Not Lovin' It: McDonald's Lease With Hospital's Cafeteria Discontinued
A Cleveland Clinic spokesperson says that the decision to oust McDonald's from the grounds is one of a number of changes the medical center has made recently to "promote healthy food choices" for its visitors and employees.
The McDonald's (MCD) restaurant located at the main hospital center is shutting down next month after hospital officials discontinued its lease, according to the Cleveland Clinic, one of the top health care institutions in the country. (Alesci and Smith, 8/19)
