In 1921, a group of visionary faculty and alumni from Case Western Reserve University recognized a gap in healthcare delivery: patients needed a new model of care that brought together medical expertise under one roof, focused on collaboration rather than competition. They founded Cleveland Clinic as a not-for-profit multi-specialty group practice dedicated to patient care, research, and education. What began as a revolutionary concept has evolved over the past century into one of the world's most respected academic medical centers, consistently ranked among the top hospitals nationally and internationally.
Today, Cleveland Clinic stands as a global healthcare leader with over 48,000 caregivers, making it the largest private employer in Northeast Ohio. The organization has expanded beyond its Cleveland roots to include facilities in Florida, Nevada, Canada, Abu Dhabi, and London, bringing world-class care to patients worldwide. Throughout its history, Cleveland Clinic has pioneered numerous medical breakthroughs and innovations,始终坚持着创始人的使命：caring for life, researching for health, and educating those who serve. With more than 300 locations and a commitment to patient-centered care, Cleveland Clinic continues to push the boundaries of medical excellence while maintaining the collaborative spirit that made it a pioneer in American healthcare.
