The mission of Cleveland Clinic is to provide better care of the sick, investigation into their problems, and further education of those who serve.

Objectives

To carry out this mission and foster the group practice of medicine, Cleveland Clinic must:

  • Excel in specialized medical care supported by comprehensive research and education
  • Develop, apply, evaluate and share new technology
  • Attract the best qualified medical, scientific and support staff
  • Excel in service
  • Provide efficient access to affordable medical care
  • Ensure that Cleveland Clinic quality underlies every decision.

The Founder's Vision

The vision of Cleveland Clinic: Striving to be the world's leader in patient experience, clinical outcomes, research and education.

When Cleveland Clinic welcomed its first patients on February 28, 1921, its mission was clearly in place: “Better care of the sick, investigation into their problems and further education of those who serve.”

The doctors who founded Cleveland Clinic, drawing from military medicine, believed in diverse specialists working and thinking as a unit. This kind of cooperation, efficiency and shared vision has fostered excellence in patient care, research and education. These principles endure today at Cleveland Clinic, a nonprofit group practice.

Statement of Values

Cleveland Clinic was established by visionary leaders who believed in simple, guiding principles. Six fundamental values form the foundation of the Cleveland Clinic's culture:

  • Quality. We maintain the highest standards and achieve them by continually measuring and improving our outcomes.
  • Innovation. We welcome change, encourage invention and continually seek better, more efficient ways to achieve our goals.
  • Teamwork. We collaborate and share knowledge to benefit patients and fellow caregivers for the advancement of our mission.
  • Service. We strive to exceed our patients' and/or fellow caregivers' expectations for comfort and convenience.
  • Integrity. We adhere to high moral principles and professional standards by a commitment to honesty, confidentiality, trust, respect and transparency.
  • Compassion. We demonstrate our commitment to world-class care by providing a caring and supportive environment for our patients, patients' families and fellow caregivers.

The history of University Hospitals Case Medical Center is linked to the history of Cleveland. Founded in 1866, we were nurtured and supported by Cleveland's great industrial families of the late 19th and early 20th centuries – the same families that played key roles in the development of the city's noted civic and cultural institutions, including the Cleveland Museum of Art, The Cleveland Orchestra, and The Cleveland Foundation.

Among the forward-looking thinkers in our early history was industrialist Samuel Mather, who served as a trustee for an astounding 47 years, including 32 years as chairman. In 1891, Mather visited the fledgling Johns Hopkins hospital and medical school. He returned to Cleveland convinced of the value of an academic medical mission joined with patient care. He understood the synergy created in an academic medical center that brings together the power of healing, teaching and discovery, and he recognized that the future of great medicine lay in the academic medical center model.

This vision for University Hospitals led in 1895 to our formal ties with what is now the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. As an affiliate of the medical school, we grew to become one of the nation's great centers of academic medicine and the region's leading provider of high quality healthcare. To the people of Greater Cleveland, we came to exemplify hope, mercy and humanity.

Our singular dedication to medical excellence is summarized in the hospital's mission statement:

University Hospitals Case Medical Center is a 1,032-bed tertiary medical center specializing in adult/pediatric medical and surgical specialties. UH Case Medical Center is also the primary affiliate of Case Western Reserve University. Together, they form the largest center for biomedical research in the state of Ohio.
