What Cleveland Clinic does

Cleveland Clinic is a nonprofit, multispecialty academic medical center founded in 1921, operating 23 hospitals and 300+ outpatient facilities across the United States (Ohio, Florida, Nevada), Canada (Toronto), the United Kingdom (London), the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi), and most recently as the announced anchor institution of the $1.2B Navi Mumbai International MediCity in India. The system recorded nearly 16M patient encounters in 2025 and serves general adult, pediatric, international, employer-sponsored, and member-hospital patient populations through integrated clinical care, an Epic-based MyChart portal, virtual visits, concierge virtual second opinions priced at $1,690-$4,500, and the Cleveland Clinic Connected international membership program (6 international and 3 domestic members).

The organization monetizes primarily through professional services (inpatient/outpatient clinical care, surgical procedures, ancillary services), with additional revenue from technology licensing (e.g., exclusive license of the SirPlux Duo nanoparticle drug-coated balloon to Advanced NanoTherapies), recurring Connected member fees, federal research grants (NIH, AHRQ), and philanthropy (notably a $50M Mandel Foundation gift in 2026). The underlying technology stack is anchored by the first IBM Quantum System One dedicated to healthcare research under a 10-year Discovery Accelerator partnership, proprietary AI models (CMR-CLIP cardiac MRI vision-language framework with 88.5%-99% diagnostic accuracy, EWF-TrimSQD hybrid quantum algorithm simulating 12,635-atom protein complexes, QHDC computing paradigm), and a deployed production AI layer (Ambience AI ambient scribe across 4,000 clinicians, Hippocratic AI Nurse Co-Pilot, Luminai admin automation, AKASA medical coding, Dyania Health Synapsis AI clinical trial matching).

Cleveland Clinic's go-to-market is hybrid — direct-to-patient via 300+ locations, MyChart, and virtual care; enterprise B2B via employer-sponsored virtual second opinions and Connected membership; channel partnerships with international member hospitals; and event-driven sports medicine GTM through PGA TOUR and Cleveland Cavaliers partnerships. The system completed 8,000+ clinical trials since 1921 and participates in Epic Care Everywhere, Carequality, CliniSync, Florida HIE, and TEFCA health information exchange networks. Governance is led by CEO Tomislav Mihaljevic (since January 2018, also an Oracle director as of May 2026) and CIO Sarah Hatchett.
