Professional Highlights
Leading the Cardiology program at Marymount since 1982.
Lobbied the ODH and the State of Ohio to allow Hospitals less than 250 beds to have a level one diagnostic cardiac cath labs. 25 Hospitals in Ohio opened up cath. labs, 4 of them are in the Cleveland Clinic System.
Working with Dr. James Young on the CHF CCF Ad Hoc committee we received the Codman Award by the joint Commission in 2001, which was the first of its kind to a large hospital system in the US.
I spear headed and established a CCHS CRO for the East side Hospitals, 2002-2011. Several Clinical research projects went through the CRO for several years. It was then folded into the CCF CRO.
Working with Dr. Randall Starling, we initiated an Ad.Hoc committee to establish the H to H program for CCHS. It then got folded into the general Quality Improvement programs of the system.
As the CMO at that time, I was on the early negotiation steps that lead to Marymount joining the Cleveland Clinic in 1995. I played an active part in the process.
Consequently, I was a member of the Medical Operations Council of CCHS for many years, even after changing its name and structure, up to 2017.

Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry. As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.
To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/ scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.

DR. KHOURY WAS OUTSTANDING .;. AS I EXPECTED HE WOULD BE. IN RECENT NEWS PROGRAMMING ... THE CLEVELAND CLINIC CARDIO CARE FACILITIES ARE RATED AS NUMBER ONE ... IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. DR. KHOURY THOROUGHLY WENT OVER MY "PROBLEM" .. EXPLAINING TO ME IN DETAIL WHAT IT WAS ... WHAT I COULD EXPECT IN THE FUTURE ... HOW IT WOULD BE MONITORED AND WHAT WOULD BE DONE TO CONTROL IT. NOT ONLY WAS DR. KHOURY THOROUGH .. BUT WITH HIS EXPLANATIONS AND DIAGNOSIS ... HE "EASED MY AND MY FAMILY'S MINDS" SUBSTANTIALLY. DR. KHOURY ... ANOTHER GREAT CLEVELAND CLINIC DOCTOR. I AM SO VERY FORTUNATE ... TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE THE CLEVELAND CLINIC AND IT'S DOCTORS AVAILABLE TO TREAT ME. IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT.

I have a lot of confidence in Dr Khoury. He is highly regarded. I only wish he were more proactive in explaining test results, symptoms, etc. He knows these things but I don't. I find myself with questions after the visit - I am more comfortable when I leave a visit feeling fully informed.
