Strengthening our Community

Every day, Cleveland Clinic is finding new ways to serve the community. The efforts of Cleveland Clinic Community Outreach are informed by the belief that the entire community benefits when the people within it are physically, mentally and spiritually healthy.

We build partnerships with community members through a wide variety of health and wellness programs. We work with community groups and organizations to bring quality health screenings and educational programs to surrounding neighborhoods, and we believe in helping individuals make positive health and wellness choices.
