Cleveland Clinic: A Vital Economic Force
Our economic impact report, examining 2022 data, shows that by fulfilling our mission, Cleveland Clinic also is a powerful economic engine — launching careers, bolstering businesses and uplifting communities everywhere we operate.
Our positive influence is felt locally, regionally and nationally.
We invest in hometown companies through our purchases. The taxes generated by our activities help governments provide crucial services and infrastructure. As we grow, our construction projects generate jobs and revenue. And our caregivers use their earnings to buy goods and services, further extending Cleveland Clinic’s economic benefit.
