“These rankings are a recognition of our caregivers’ compassion and expertise,” says Tom Mihaljevic, MD, CEO and President of Cleveland Clinic. “While this has been a challenging time for all of healthcare, our commitment to delivering the best care possible has not changed. We continue to be dedicated to our goal to be the best place to receive care and best place to work in healthcare. Every day and with every patient, we strive to improve our high standards and outcomes.”
