I learned three great factoids (from their patient education team) that you might find interesting. For 2008:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More than 50% of Cleveland Clinic patients reside outside the state of Ohio;<\/li>\n<li>Patients from 89 countries came to The Cleveland Clinic for cardiovascular care; and<\/li>\n<li>Patients from all 50 states came to The Cleveland Clinic for cardiac surgery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I hope this information helps you learn more about the patient profile at The Cleveland Clinic.
