THE CLEVELAND CLINICPART II.THE OBLIGATED GROUPThe Cleveland Clinic was incorporated in 1921 as an Ohio nonprofit corporation. It is a Tax-ExemptOrganization. In accordance with the fundamental aim of the founders (better care for the sick; investigation of theirproblems; and further education of those who serve), the founders planned a multi-disciplinary medical practice, anew concept at that time, and allocated separate portions of the Cleveland Clinic’s resources to research, educationand medical care. To this day, the Cleveland Clinic consists of three functional areas: clinical care (the “Clinic”),hospital care (the “Hospital”) and medical research and education.The ClinicIn January 2008, the Clinic’s historic division-based system of professional departments within the Clinicwas restructured to create patient-oriented Institutes, which are structured on the basis of organ system, diseasesystem, co-location and leadership. The 28 Institutes are: Anesthesiology, Cleveland Clinic Lorain, Cole Eye,Dermatology and Plastic Surgery, Digestive Disease, Education, Emergency Services, Endocrinology andMetabolism, Glickman Urological and Kidney, Head and Neck, Heart and Vascular, Imaging, Lerner Research,Medicine, Neurological, Nursing, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Orthopaedic and Rheumatology, Pathology andLaboratory Medicine, Pediatrics, Pharmacy, Quality and Patient Safety, Regional Operations, Rehabilitation,Respiratory, Surgery, Taussig Cancer and Wellness. The reorganization into Institutes facilitates a multidisciplinaryapproach, and is designed to reduce duplication and enhance convenience, exchange of knowledge, researchcollaboration, and educational collaboration.Clinical Services. The Clinic provides a full range of outpatient care and physician services andcoordinates access of primary care patients to specialty care available at the Cleveland Clinic’s main campushospital facilities and the Ohio Regional Hospitals. That range of services and greater accessibility to world-classcare, if needed, have enabled the Cleveland Clinic to maintain strong rates of growth in outpatient volumes at itsmain campus, Family Health Centers and other regional Clinic facilities. Outpatient visits totaled 3,233,482 in2007, an increase of 162,723 visits (5.3%) over 2006, and an increase of 342,336 visits (11.8%) over 2005.Regional Medical Practice. The Cleveland Clinic operates 16 Family Health Centers throughoutnortheast Ohio, two of which are dedicated specifically to rehabilitation of sports-related injuries, one located inWilloughby Hills, Ohio and the other in the Jewish Community Center in Beachwood, Ohio. Each Family HealthCenter provides primary care and certain specialty services. A broad range of outpatient diagnostic, clinical,surgical and therapeutic services are provided.
