CHICAGO, Sept. 1 -- Anthony Yen, 86, had a heart operation at the Cleveland Clinic in 1988. Thirty years later, he remains healthy and energetic, and has become friends with his doctors at the clinic.
Covering 170 acres of land in downtown Cleveland, the U.S. state of Ohio, the clinic is one of the top medical centers in the country. Particularly famous for the treatment of cardiovascular disease, it recorded 7.6 million patient visits in 2017.
The world famous medical center made a big move in July. It teamed up with a medical group to bring its best healthcare practices to China's Shanghai New Hong Qiao International Medical Center.
"We're very excited about the opportunities in China," Tomislav Mihaljevic, president and CEO of Cleveland Clinic, told Xinhua. "I know that the number of Chinese visitors as well as the number of Chinese patients (to the clinic) has been steadily climbing."
ADVANCED HEALTH CARE & RESEARCH
Mihaljevic made no secret of being proud of the clinic. "We were the second largest employer in the state of Ohio. We are the largest employer in our city of Cleveland."
The clinic now serves more than 7 million visits a year, and patients come from not only the United States but from all over the world. Most of them seek care there because they need sophisticated, modern interventions due to very complex conditions.
Mihaljevic attributed reputation of Cleveland Clinic to the excellence of its care and research output, a joint effort of its 53,000 employees, including over 3,600 physicians and scientists.
