We are excited to announce a new clinical affiliation with the Cleveland Clinic Heart & Vascular Institute, advancing cardiovascular care for patients in the region. As an affiliate, Deborah will have access to the best practices that have helped the Cleveland Clinic Heart & Vascular Institute achieve U.S. News & World Report’s No. 1 ranking for cardiology and heart surgery for the past 25 years; and will complement Deborah’s own top 7% national designation by the Society for Thoracic Surgeons and a 5-Star National Rating by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This is not a merger or acquisition. As affiliates both organizations remain independent. But it will help us sustain and grow our already award winning care.
