Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Functional Medicine puts patients first by providing personalized Functional Medicine services and a therapeutic experience within an optimal healing environment.
Our environment affects our health. Special care has been taken to embrace WELL Building Standard™ (WELL) features in the design, building systems and selection of all finish materials and artwork. This includes everything from building materials to air quality to lighting and ergonomics.
The Cleveland Clinic Q2 Functional Medicine Suite located in Q2 on Cleveland Clinic’s Main Campus is WELL Certified™ Silver
Cleveland Clinic is dedicated to constructing healthy and environmentally sustainable buildings because we understand that environmental health and human health are linked. Cleveland Clinic takes a proactive approach to environmental stewardship and community health through our operations and construction standards. This philosophy led the Center for Functional Medicine to pursue WELL as an early adopter and to achieve WELL Certified™ Silver level certification in 2018 through the International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI™).
WELL strategies have been incorporated into the overall design and operation of the suite. This includes providing optimal lighting (both outside access to light and use of circadian lighting design), use of nontoxic building materials and cleaning products and inclusion of ergonomically correct furniture. Cleveland Clinic chose to pursue WELL Certification because we, like IWBI™, believe that elevating human health and comfort should be at the forefront of building practices to create environments that are not only better for the planet, but better for people.
The WELL Building Standard™ is a performance-based system for measuring, certifying and monitoring all building features, including air and water quality, nourishment, lighting, fitness, comfort and mind.
WELL is grounded in a body of medical research that explores the connection between health and well-being and the environments where we spend more than 90 percent of our time.
It focuses on how buildings support human health and productivity by marrying best practices in design and construction with evidence-based health and wellness interventions. Certification confirms that the space is promoting health and well-being as it was intended.
