The Cleveland Fusion is proud to announce The MetroHealth System as our Presenting Sponsor for the 2018 season. With its strong sports medicine program, focus on women’s health and Pride Network, The MetroHealth System is uniquely positioned to offer a partnership that will allow both of us to effectively aid our players and the Northeast Ohio community at large.

The MetroHealth team is led by Dr. Laurel Beverley, a board certified orthopaedic surgeon, who has served as the team physician for sports teams in Massachusetts, before moving to Cleveland. She is also an athlete who played women’s hockey at the collegiate level.

In addition to taking care of both the routine and acute health care needs of our players, our partnership with MetroHealth will further our mutual goals of making medical care accessible to the diverse communities throughout Northeast Ohio.

   The Fusion family extends beyond our players, staff, coaches and fans to all our families as well. We encourage family participation, as it keeps us balanced during the toughest times.

   

4. Diverse Background
   The Fusion’s motto is “Real Women, Real Football”, meaning we have women from all walks of life coming together to play football. We do not discriminate based on age, income level, race, religion, or sexual orientation. We come together for the love of the sport; so if you are here to learn, to play, and to win, you can find your place in the Cleveland Fusion.

   After the craziness of a long day, football is a great way to redirect your energy.

9. Be a part of something bigger than yourself
