Our vision for Cleveland Clinic is to be the best place for care anywhere and the best place to work in healthcare.

 

Care Priorities

Patients: Care for the patient as if they are your own family.

Cleveland Clinic is here for one reason: to take care of patients. We are known for exceptional care delivered by multidisciplinary teams. We challenge ourselves to get better each year. Our goals are to touch more lives, relieve suffering and provide every patient the best care and experience.

Caregivers: Treat fellow caregivers as if they were your own family.

There are nearly 60,000 Cleveland Clinic caregivers around the world. We are the largest employer in Northeast Ohio and the second largest in the state. We promote teamwork, engagement and integrity. We strive to make Cleveland Clinic the best place to work and grow.

Community: We are committed to the communities we serve.

Cleveland Clinic's community benefit goes beyond healthcare services. As an anchor institution, we promote the physical and economic health of our neighborhoods. We are building a future for health education and workforce development that will enhance the region for generations.

Organization: Treat the organization as your home.

Cleveland Clinic is a nonprofit organization. All revenues beyond expenses are reinvested in our mission. We care for the organization as if it were our home, by securing its financial health, using resources mindfully and bringing our services to as many people as need our care.
