Since its inception, Cleveland Clinic has demonstrated a strong commitment to innovation and discovery, from interdisciplinary approaches to disease to new surgical techniques to clinical insights that have helped shape the standard of medical care.
At the Earl and Doris Bakken Heart-Brain Institute at Cleveland Clinic, physicians, researchers and educators utilize a multidisciplinary and integrated approach to the study of heart-brain medicine.
With the mission of promoting research and education related to heart-brain interactions, researchers at the Bakken Heart-Brain Institute are working to discover new treatments and cures for cardiovascular and nervous system disorders that build upon these interactions and offer a range of healing solutions that treat the patient as a whole.
In partnership with Cleveland Clinic, the Earl and Doris Bakken Heart-Brain Institute provides a firm foundation for the development of the field of heart-brain medicine.
