It might be on the lawn between Crile, Intercontinental and what will be the new Glickman and Miller buildings.  The parking lot right next to that, heading north, might be a good spot, but I think that's actually used for parking (maybe just for construction crews).  It may be on the front lawn right out in front of Crile, but that area's pretty busy with people coming and going anyway.

 

I don't think it's going to be located in the back of Crile, on the E. 105th, side.  They would've said that in the article if that was the case.

 

It's funny.  I was just going to post a link to this very same thing.  I work at the Clinic, and I just saw it on the Intranet news... which pointed to the cleveland.com story.  I should've known you folks here would be on top of it. :)

If i heard the news correctly this morning, its going to be on the lawn.

Great!!  Yeah.  I might catch the 48 down and check this out. 

Great- happy it is going to be on the lawn.  Someday, I do hope it moves to a space along Euclid, though, to increase public visibility.  Maybe it could even be incorporated into the grand Chester to Cardio Spaceship allee landscape plan.

Cleveland Clinic system worth $8.9 billion to Ohio

 

Posted by jmorona May 28, 2008 18:04PM

 

The Cleveland Clinic and its suburban hospitals' economic impact on the region and statewide amounted to $8.9 billion in 2006, according to a study the hospital commissioned.

 

That $8.9 billion includes employees and construction workers' salaries, state and local taxes, the indirect or spinoff jobs created from workers buying groceries, appliances and clothes and the hospitals' purchasing of goods and services.

 

"It's really important that we communicate to stakeholders of the organization - board members, the community, the management and employees - communicate to them - here is the overall impact," said Steven Glass, the Clinic's chief financial officer...

Cleveland Clinic, Columbia U. end talks

Posted by Joan Mazzolini July 23, 2008 10:36AM

 

Discussions to affiliate the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine with Columbia University are off, according to an e-mail to Clinic staff from President Toby Cosgrove.

 

The decision was a "mutual one," according to the e-mail.

 

The Clinic's school remains affiliated with Case Western Reserve University.

 

Bad feelings over CWRU's affiliation with University Hospitals triggered the discussions to move.

 

Good news, indeed.  We can call get along!

^Either that, or you can't get along with either CWRU or Columbia....  Just kidding.

Follow up on that story...One cleveland.comer had a good idea (How about that) about a CSU/Clinic partnership...Sounds like a good idea to me

 

With Columbia deal off, Cleveland Clinic make break with CWRU to go on its own

Posted by Joan Mazzolini and Janet Okoben July 23, 2008 20:46PM

 

The Cleveland Clinic might break away from Case Western Reserve University to create a new, independent medical school now that an attempt to affiliate with Columbia University has fallen through.

 

Clinic President Toby Cosgrove told his board members Tuesday evening that the Columbia deal is off.

 

Eric Fingerhut, the state's chancellor of higher education, confirmed Wednesday that an independent medical school is one of several scenarios he has discussed with the Clinic in the past year. He's in favor of any arrangement that keeps the Clinic's students in Ohio...

 

http://blog.cleveland.com/medical/2008/07/cleveland_clinic_columbia_univ.html

No, CSU most certainly may not steal one of our medical schools :-P :-P

I think the idea was some sort of collaboration between CSU and the Clinic. I know - collaboration is a four-letter word with some of those institutions.

CSU is a part of NEOUCOM right?

I believe so, in all its campus-in-the-middle-of-nowheref#ckingwheresville-off-a-godforsaken-exit-ramp-sh!tpit-in-Portage-County glory.

US clinic launches mobile ICU

Karen Dearne

September 16, 2008

THE future of healthcare is happening now at the visionary Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.

 

The not-for-profit medical centre has just launched a full-scale mobile intensive-care service that will deliver the unit's doctors and nurses to anyone, anywhere.

 

Patients with the means can summon critical care via ground ambulance, helicopter or aircraft - the jets can be configured for all types of medical emergency - for transport to hospital.

 

The mobile ICU extends the clinic's health IT innovation that first built a statewide network of medical providers and patients, then a world-class hospital and research centre, and now global access to specialists via the web.

 

Dr Martin Harris, chief information officer of the Cleveland Clinic, said IT had transformed healthcare from provider driven to consumer driven...

In the last of this year's three-part employee wellness initiative, the Cleveland Clinic will be offering employees free access to Clinic-owned and Curves fitness center locations beginning Nov. 1.

 

All 27,000 employees enrolled in the Clinic's Employee Health Plan will pay nothing out of pocket for the memberships - which vary in value from $60 to $480 a year, depending on the facility. Employees will also receive $100 if they go to the gym at least 10 times per month for 10 months...

Nation's first face transplant done in Cleveland

MARILYNN MARCHIONE, AP Medical Writer – 1 hr 9 mins ago

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081216/ap_on_he_me/face_transplant

 

The Cleveland Clinic says it has done the nation's first almost total face transplant.

 

A hospital spokeswoman said Tuesday that the operation was done a couple weeks ago. Reconstructive surgeon Dr. Maria Siemionow (SIM'-en-now) replaced 80 percent of a woman's face with that of a dead female donor.

 

The patient's name and age were not released.

 

It is the first such transplant in the United States. The world's first occurred in France three years ago on a woman who had been mauled by her dog. Two others have been announced since then — a Chinese farmer attacked by a bear and a European man disfigured by a genetic condition.

Stanley Zielony gift to pay for Cleveland Clinic nursing scholarships, education center

A large gift from a former Cleveland Clinic patient who lives in New York City will pay for nursing scholarships, then help establish a nursing education center at the hospital.

 

Stanley Zielony of Garden City on Long Island, N.Y., donated money to create the Stanley S. Zielony Center for Nursing Education, the Clinic said Wednesday in a news release. Zielony does not want the amount disclosed, Clinic spokeswoman Natalie Guzzo said.

 

The gift is "sizable" and will help achieve the Clinic's long-term goal of establishing a nursing education center, Guzzo said...

 

Say hello to our new claim to fame.  It's a morbid and tragic story, which I would like to have vanish from the news, except that they say such nice things about the Clinic.

 

Chimp attack victim moved to Cleveland Clinic

 

By Stephanie Gallman CNN

http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/02/19/chimp.attack/index.html

 

(CNN) -- A Connecticut woman attacked Monday by her friend's pet chimpanzee was taken Thursday from a Connecticut hospital to the famed Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, a hospital spokeswoman said. She would not divulge the victim's condition nor the reason for the move.

 

Charla Nash, 55, was transferred by airplane and ambulance to the clinic, where doctors in December performed the first facial transplant in the United States.

^I was just about to post that article.  When I had first read about the chimp tearing apart the woman's face, I immediately thought about the Cleveland Clinic's facial transplant success and the possibility of her coming here.  And then a few days later, it turns out that's exactly what's going to happen.

1000 new jobs for Cleveland?  I'll take it.

 

 

Clinic continues to grow, despite recession, but will delay some construction

Posted by rhiggs February 25, 2009 11:25AM

Tracy Boulian/The Plain Dealer

 

The Cleveland Clinic is poised to continue to grow, despite a struggling economy, Dr. Delos "Toby" Cosgrove, president and CEO, said.

 

The Cleveland Clinic's expanding operations, which have given it international reach and made it the region's largest employer, have positioned the health system to continue to grow even as the city's population declines  :whip: and the nation endures a recession.

 

The Clinic has forged relationships for new operations in Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi, completed construction on a new facility in West Palm Beach, and will soon announce the location of a national research laboratory that could employ 1,000 on its main campus in Cleveland.

 

"I know we're going forward stronger than we've ever been before," Dr. Delos "Toby" Cosgrove, the system's president and chief executive, told employees during his annual address Wednesday.

 

At the same time, he described a health system that is moving forward with caution.

 

The system last year grew its number of workers 6 percent to 39,250, but this year Cosgrove has announced a pay freeze and restricted hiring as well as reduced spending on travel, catering and consulting.

 

After opening 3.3 million new square feet last year and adding 100 patient beds, the Clinic this year will delay some construction projects.

Yeah, they were going to build it around E.55th & Euclid, but now it's likely to be built on the MC.  It's just going to be a big warehouse type thing, which is why they were not originally going to build in on MC.

 

 

God I hope the Clinic gets it right with this new facility.  Even if it's a windowless bunker, this is the kind of employment generator that must take into account proximity/access to the HealthLine.  Meaning, please don't put on the south side of Cedar and then demolish another 50 houses for surface parking.

Could anything possibly make more sense for the midtown technology center?  I mean... isn't this the perfect marriage?  This seems too easy, they really need to find a way to make this happen.

Does anyone know what the use the Clinic is employing for that large factory/WH on the corner of Euclid and London in Collinwood?  I drive by it quite frequently on my way to the inbound east shoreway but, always approaching from the east, I never noticed that there was a Cleveland Clinic sign on the western side of the building.  That complex is massive.  Storage perhaps? 

 

I know they receive medical supplies somewhere over there.  My gf used to work for a logistics firm and she had to go there occasionally; if not there, I think it might be for laundry.

 

**They also have a health center in Collinwood, but I don't think it's at the location you indicated.

No mention on where the lab will be located as of yet, but I guess we could assume that it will go on the main campus.

Cleveland Clinic plans national reference lab

• Cleveland Clinic continues to grow, despite recession, but will delay some construction

 

The Cleveland Clinic plans to begin construction on a national reference lab this year that, long-term, could employ up to 2,000 medical technicians, pathologists and others.

 

The lab will run sophisticated tests for hospitals across the country and internationally, as well for the Clinic's own patients.

 

Construction on the 100,000-square-foot, roughly $25 million lab is expected to break ground by mid-2009 and be up and running by the end of 2010...

Interesting that the building will be built on the main campus but apparently not on land already owned by the clinic.  Given these two "hints" can anybody venture a guess as to possibilities.  Strange that with all the vacant land the clinic (surface parking lots) has on its main campus they could not find space to squeeze in a 100,000 sq. foot building.

If I could ask Toby Cosgrove one question, it would be "Why can't you do this at the midtown Technology center and get that project started?"

 

There may be a legitimate explanation for why they don't seem to be considering this, I just can't think of it.  I mean, this is EXACTLY the type of tennant that MTC is looking for, it encourages new developement in the city, it is located directly on a stop for the new public transportaion that the clinic has it's name on... and it's like 2 minutes away... ummm...

There is a large portion of open land at the corner of Chester and the Clinic's new entrance. I think maybe it could be a good way to finish off their new entrance.

^I disagree.  The building is going to be a big warehouse and will not fit in with the Vegas entrance.

Well the two current demolitions on the CC main campus are: (1) the asbesdos building on Carnegie, and (2) the older parkig garage and loading docks immediately south of the taussig cancer building.

 

The clinic also influences a lot of the surrounding land that isn't officially theirs. I used to park in the lot at mt siani, and I know there were several quasi lots on the south side of chester. Most of these have been emptied out since the e89th employee garage opened, so there are lotsa places where a lab could be built.

 

I'll ask toby the next time I see him ;)

Northeast Ohio hospitals say proposed state franchise fee will force cuts in jobs, charity care

Posted by dsims March 27, 2009 05:45AM

Chris Stephens / The Plain DealerThe view from a Clinic walkway in Cleveland. The Clinic and several other regional hospitals say they'll be hurt by a proposed state franchise fee, and that patients and staff will suffer.

 

CLEVELAND -- Northeast Ohio's hospitals -- including the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals Health System and the Sisters of Charity Health System -- said in a meeting Thursday in The Plain Dealer offices that they will be forced to consider cutting charity care and more than 1,800 jobs if a "franchise fee" remains in Gov. Ted Strickland's two-year budget proposal.

 

Bill Ryan, president and chief executive of the Center for Health Affairs, whose members are the Northeast Ohio hospitals, said the governor's budget is "balanced on the back of the hospitals."

 

John Corlett, deputy director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, said that if the state had other ways to generate this revenue, it would. The department plans to talk about alternatives this afternoon with the Ohio Hospital Association and the state budget office...

 

I don't know who I missed all this information...maybe it's the thread name, but all the info is HUGE for the city and region.  The lifting of the Stem Cell ban on federal funds and the new Cleveland Clinic Laboratory will have lasting effects on our economy, reputation, new construction, and new jobs.    Very exciting news in the past few weeks…as long as the job cuts don’t occur from the “franchise fee.”

 

In regards to the Stem Cells, I’m sure BioEnterprise is already on it with the high probability of federal funds as well as relocating other companies into the region. 

 

Sorry, Armond.  Increasing the costs on the hospitals, and then trying to defray it with the hope of additional money coming from the Feds, does not look too reliable.  The Clinic is not going to like this.

Ohio House Speaker Armond Budish has alternative fee proposal for state's hospitals

Armond BudishCOLUMBUS -- House Speaker Armond Budish is floating a plan to increase a fee being charged to Ohio hospitals in the next budget with the goal of eventually guiding $200 million more in federal Medicaid dollars back in their direction.

However, Tiffany Himmelreich, spokeswoman for the Ohio Hospital Association, said her group is worried that a federal cap on Medicaid money that can be returned to hospitals might spoil the plan.

 

"If hospitals hit that cap, then the federal money will just go somewhere else," she said. "We're still waiting to get the exact details, but we're encouraged the speaker appears to recognize there is a problem with the current budget proposal for hospitals."

I don't claim to understand what that's all about, but Cleveland Clinic pays no property taxes and is awash in the region's money.  I don't want to hear anything from them about fee increases.

First U.S. face transplant recipient offers thanks

 

By Madison Park

CNN

(CNN) -- In 2004, a bullet ripped away Connie Culp's nose, cheeks and upper jaw. Metal fragments sprayed into her skull and stripped her face away, leaving nothing except for her eyes, her chin and forehead.

 

Without her nose, she could not smell. She breathed through a tracheostomy -- a surgical opening in her neck. Without lips, she could barely speak.

 

But Tuesday, when Culp, 46, the first recipient of a face transplant in the United States, stepped in front of the cameras at a news conference, she was whole...

"If you can breathe through your nose in the spring in Cleveland, isn't that amazing?" said Siemionow.

 

Is she talking about allergies?

Cleveland Clinic, Irish university strike to deal research medical devices

May 7, 2009 by Chris Seper 

 

CLEVELAND, Ohio — A deal with a prominent Irish medical school will broaden the Cleveland Clinic’s opportunities in Ireland as in the rest of Europe, according to a release from the university.

 

The Clinic agreed on Wednesday to work with the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland to focus on medical devices and areas including orthopedics, cardiovascular disease and general surgery. The Clinic will partner with the school on clinical trials for approval in Europe and through the U.S.Food an Drug Administration approval.

 

Cleveland Clinic Innovations Director Chris Coburn called the school “the old pros in navigating an international system” with a global reach that will benefit the Clinic, according to The Plain Dealer. The Royal College has several research projects focusing on bone development and focuses on cardiovascular and cancer research, among other areas.

 

“It provides a great opportunity for both organizations to work together to address complex health-care challenges and develop innovative medical solutions that will ultimately improve patient outcomes and reduce health-care costs,” Frank Ryan, chief executive officer of Enterprise Ireland, stated in the university release.

Well whatever this means..

President Barack Obama put in a plug for the Cleveland Clinic today at a health care reform strategy session with more than a dozen Democratic U.S. Senators.

 

Obama told the group, which included Sen. Sherrod Brown of Avon, that he'd like to adjust the incentive structure to emulate places like the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, which "are able to provide some of the best health care services in the country at half or sometimes even less of the costs than some of the other areas where the quality is not as good."

 

"The Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, same thing: top-notch quality, lower costs," he continued...
