Care Priorities

Patients: Care for the patient as if they were 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 with 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.

Logo

Cleveland Clinic’s logo, introduced in 1984, features a symbol made up of four interlocking cornerstones that reflect our mission: Patient Care (Clinic and Hospital), Research and Education.

The design also honors our four founders: Frank E. Bunts, MD; George W. Crile, MD; William E. Lower, MD; and John Phillips, MD.

Together, the shapes form a unified whole — with the center representing our shared commitment to putting “Patients First.”
