Referring Physicians
While Cleveland Clinic's Medical Care at Home places the care of patients first, we honor and respect collaboration with our colleagues. You know your patients best, and our goal is to complement your knowledge and involvement during periods of difficulty or for ongoing conditions if office-based care no longer meets the patient’s needs. Of course, we will work closely with the other services and programs within Cleveland Clinic at Home, as well as with community professionals and service agencies. Through collaboration, we want to ensure patients have the resources necessary to remain in the community.
