A $50 million grant from the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Supporting Foundation will launch Cleveland Clinic\u2019s Community Bridge to Care Initiative, a program that will help Cleveland residents get the care they need as quickly and seamlessly as possible and expand access to emergency and trauma care.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are deeply grateful to the Mandel Foundation for their partnership and support. Their generosity\u00a0allows\u00a0us to expand\u00a0the care we provide to our patients and the communities we serve,\u201d\u00a0said Tom Mihaljevic, CEO and President of Cleveland Clinic and holder of the Morton L. Mandel CEO Chair. \u201cThe expansion of our emergency services will help us better care for patients with the most serious injuries, ensuring they\u00a0receive the specialized treatment they need, when\u00a0it matters most.\u201d<\/p>\n
The grant will provide lead support for a comprehensive community-focused effort that integrates three interdependent strategies that connect clinical excellence, digital innovation and systems designed to create faster, more access for immediate health needs, especially for the communities surrounding Main Campus. Together, these components will enhance\u00a0Cleveland\u00a0Clinic’s ability to be a\u00a0responsive\u00a0community resource and serve those living in the neighborhoods\u00a0near\u00a0its\u00a0facilities.
