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 Statement
The hallmark used in the official Cleveland Clinic logo, developed in 1984, is the first official emblem for the Cleveland Clinic Foundation.
The four squares represent each of the major areas of the Foundation: Clinic, Hospital, Research and Education. They are also representative of our four founders: Frank E. Bunts, MD, George W. Crile, MD, William E. Lower, MD, and John Phillips, MD.
The large single square signifies unity and the efforts of all those involved to care for the sick, investigate their problems and further educate those who serve.
