Mandel CEO Chair. “Their dedication, compassion and commitment to excellence are the pillars of Cleveland Clinic care. Every day, they answer the call to serve those in need.
“Being a caregiver carries a tremendous sense of purpose, and our patients inspire us to stop at nothing short of excellence.”
