Cleveland Clinic joins the nation in grieving the loss of more than 55 people who were killed at a concert in Las Vegas on Sunday, Oct. 1. More than 500 people were taken to the hospital following the deadliest mass shooting in the United States.

At this time, we believe that none of our caregivers at the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas were in attendance at the concert. Our hearts go out to the families and friends of the victims. Please keep them in your thoughts.
