Innovation at Cleveland Clinic

Cleveland Clinic is home to many major medical breakthroughs in its history, ranging from the first First coronary angiography (1952) to the discovery of an intestinal bacteria product (TMAO) that can predict heart disease risk (2013). Cleveland Clinic discoveries and innovations are born out of a renowned culture in which critical mass is deployed to continually advance patient care. Cleveland Clinic Innovations (CCI) and Cleveland Clinic Ventures (CCV) work together to assess, protect, build, test and market the most promising ideas of our 51,000+ caregivers. This has resulted in a portfolio of over 1,200 issued patents, 550+ license agreements, and 80+ spin-off companies.

Innovation at Cleveland Clinic Celebrates National Nurses Week

Florence Nightingale, OM, RRC, DStJ was an English social reformer, statistician, and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale came to prominence while serving as a manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, in which she organized care for wounded soldiers at Constantinople. Leaving quite the mark on the profession, Nightingale’s birthday is used to mark the end of a period of recognition for nurses nationwide – National Nurses Week. National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6th and ends on May 12th, and is used to raise awareness of all nurse contributions and commitments, as well as the vital role they play in society.
