Cleveland Clinic 

Founded in 1921, Cleveland Clinic is a nonprofit, multispecialty academic medical 

center that integrates clinical and hospital care with research and education. 

Today, 1,800 physicians and scientists practice in 120 medical specialties and 

subspecialties, annually recording more than 3 million patient visits and more than 

70,000 surgeries. 

Cleveland Clinic’s main campus on 166 acres in Cleveland, Ohio, includes a 1,000bed 

hospital, outpatient clinic, a research institute, specialty institutes, and supporting 

labs and facilities. Cleveland Clinic also operates more than a dozen family health 

centers; nine community hospitals, a children’s hospital for rehabilitation and one 

affiliate hospital in Ohio; a 150-bed hospital and clinic in Weston, Fla.; and health 

and wellness centers in West Palm Beach, Fla., and Toronto, Canada. Cleveland 

Clinic Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), a multispecialty care hospital and clinic, 

is scheduled to open in late 2012. 

The Lerner Research Institute is home to all laboratory-based, translational and 

clinical biomedical research at Cleveland Clinic. With 700,000 total square feet of 

research space, more than 1,200 scientists and support personnel collaborate with 

clinical researchers to unravel the mysteries of disease. It is one of the leading NIHfunded 

research institutes in the nation. 

In 2004, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve 

University opened. The program graduated its first students as physician-scientists 

in 2009. 

In 2008, Cleveland Clinic was redesignated as a Magnet status hospital, the most 

sought-after indicator of nursing excellence, by the American Nurses Credentialing 

Center. Hospitals that achieve Magnet status are recognized for providing the highest 

standard of nursing care and excellence. 

Cleveland Clinic is consistently ranked among the top hospitals in America by 

U.S.News & World Report, and our heart and heart surgery program has been 

ranked No. 1 since 1995. 

Cleveland Clinic Institutes 

In 2007, Cleveland Clinic restructured its practice, bundling all clinical specialties 

into integrated practice units called institutes. An institute combines all the specialties 

surrounding a specific organ or disease system under a single roof. Each institute has 

a single leader and focuses the energies of multiple professionals onto the patient. 

From access and communication to billing and point-of-care service, institutes are 

improving the patient experience at Cleveland Clinic.

The Glickman Urological & Kidney Institute is a world leader in treating complex 

urologic and kidney conditions in adults and children. Our physicians have pioneered 

medical advances including partial nephrectomy, laparoscopic and robotic urologic 

surgery, and the bioartificial kidney, while serving tens of thousands of patients 

annually. Opened in 2008, the Glickman Tower is helping to improve patient 

experience by increasing capacity and consolidating services so patients can stay in 

one location for care.
