Cleveland Clinic, officially titled as The Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF), is an Ohio nonprofit corporation established in 1921.[1] CCF operates a multispecialty academic medical center in Cleveland, Ohio and affiliated facilities in Ohio, Florida, Nevada, Canada and Abu Dhabi.
History
The Cleveland Clinic was founded in February 1921 by four physicians who envisioned a group practice in which individual members would share clinical expertise and specialization and dedicate themselves teaching future generations of physicians, and where an academic culture would be fostered through innovations in medical procedures as well as through basic and applied research activities[2]
The Cleveland Clinic fire of 1929 killed 123 people, including one of the founders, Dr. Phillips, and caused significant damage to the original building.[2][3] The fire started in nitrocellulose x-ray film held in the basement of the hospital.[3] The disaster prompted medical facilities to establish standards for the storage of nitrocellulose film and other hazardous materials.[2]
From 1989 to 2004, the Cleveland Clinic nearly doubled both the capacity of its buildings and the number of visits, adding the Lerner Research Institute (1998), Cole Eye Institute (1999), and Taussig Cancer Center (2000), the Surgery Center, and two on-campus hotels.[2] By 2005, CCF was the second-largest private medical group practice in the US, with 1,400 physicians in 120 medical specialties and sub-specialties, serving more than a million patient visits a year.[2]
The Clinic has since then also expanded overseas, with the phased opening in 2015 of Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, constructed at the cost of approximately 1.5 Billion USD. After completion, the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi will become one of the largest medical centers in the Middle East.
Research
The Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute had an annual research expenditure of approximately $250 million in 2008. The Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University opened in 2004. Cleveland Clinic’s graduate medical education program is one of the largest in the country.[2]
Reputation
Cleveland Clinic is nationally recognized as one of the top medical centers in the US and the world, particularly in technological and management systems[4] and in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.[2][5][6] It is nationally ranked in 14 Adult and 10 Pediatric Specialities in the US as follows.
