INNOVATIONS
Cleveland Clinic Top Ten Medical Innovations: 2019 The mission of Cleveland Clinic is to provide better care of the sick, investigation into their problems, and further education of those who serve. Sounds pretty straightforward, doesn’t it? Almost any hospital strives for those goals. But the Cleveland Clinic is not any hospital. It was named a top U.S. hospital in U.S. News & World Report’s “201819 Best Hospitals,” and ranked in the top five in twelve specialties. Its heart program has ranked No. 1 in the nation since 1995. Three of its regional hospitals ranked within the Top 5 of Cleveland-area hospitals. So when the Cleveland Clinic speaks, it’s worthwhile to listen.
Every year, the hospital chooses ten innovations that are going to prove significant for our future, and for the advancement of medical science. We think these are an inspiration for our industry, and signposts for where we’re headed. Enjoy.
