Corporate Advisory Council Debuts at Cleveland Clinic Martin Health

Cleveland Clinic Martin Health has formed a new philanthropic initiative designed to strengthen community partnerships and advance patient care across the Treasure Coast. Known as the Corporate Advisory Council, the donor recognition society is a first for Cleveland Clinic.

The Council brings together corporate partners who share a commitment to improving community health, offering a meaningful opportunity to engage with the hospital system while helping shape its future.

Leading the Way

The Corporate Advisory Council supports all three Martin Health hospitals – Cleveland Clinic Martin North, Martin South and Tradition Hospitals – allowing participants to direct their philanthropy toward the major capital campaign that best aligns with their goals and community priorities.

Inaugural corporate partners include Port St. Lucie-based A&G Concrete Pools, Inc.; BBL Hospitality of Albany, New York; and Awbury Analytics, LLC, of Stuart. Their participation reflects a shared belief in giving back to the local healthcare system that serves their families, employees, and neighbors.

“We want to thank our corporate partners for their philanthropic investment in Cleveland Clinic as we work together toward a healthier community,” says Chirag Choudhary, MD, MBA, Vice President and Chief Medical Officer for Cleveland Clinic Martin Health.

Deep Personal Connections

For Council participants, like Travis and Genia Leonard of A&G Concrete Pools, supporting Martin Health is deeply personal. The Leonards are grateful for the high-quality care their youngest daughter received at the Cleveland Clinic Emergency Center at St. Lucie West following a sports injury.

Laura Hamel of BBL Hospitality, meanwhile, praised Cleveland Clinic’s innovative Hospital Care at Home program, which brings acute hospital care directly into patients’ homes. 

“Our corporate partners also frequently cite their desire to enhance community healthcare as part of giving back to the communities where their employees live and work,” notes Dr. Choudhary. “They recognize the benefit access to world class care in the region means for workforce recruitment.”

That rings true for Pamela Tillinghast Dubitsky and Alex Dubitsky of Awbury Analytics. They say their participation in the Council is a natural evolution of their multiyear support of Cleveland Clinic Martin Health and their desire to support leading-edge healthcare for their firm’s employees and broader Martin County.

Council Participation

Through its philanthropic support, the Council will have a lasting impact on patient care by advancing several major capital campaigns, including the Tradition Hospital Expansion, the Martin Market Expansion and the Weissman Cancer Center renovation.

In recognition of their support, Council participants will have the opportunity to attend quarterly meetings featuring hospital and operational updates, service line highlights and philanthropy news. Facility tours and luncheons also will be periodically offered to help employees of corporate partners and their families navigate the healthcare system and address specific needs.

As Cleveland Clinic explores opportunities to establish similar Corporate Advisory Councils in other communities, the Martin Health initiative stands as a powerful example of how local partners can come together – heart, mission and purpose aligned – to strengthen care for generations to come.
