In regional operations, we opened an emergency department in Brunswick, ohio, and broke ground for a hospital tower in avon, ohio. Plans have been announced for a new health and wellness campus in Lakewood, ohio. In Weston, florida, we near completion of the egil and Pauline Braathen Center that will house both the Pauline Braathen Neurological Center and the Maroone Cancer Center.
We are especially proud of Cleveland Clinic abu Dhabi (cover), which will begin offering patient care services in 2015. to staff this 2.7-million-square-foot facility, we have successfully completed the largest physician-recruitment effort ever under-taken.

SONES INNOVATION AWARD RECIPIENT
Irene Katzan, MD, of the Neurological Institute, created the Knowledge Program
(KP), an initiative to improve the collection of discrete clinical information within
the Epic system and make it retrievable for research, quality improvement and
patient care. KP gathers data before outpatient visits and consolidates them into a
single database for analysis with Epic documentation. Today, 74 centers are using
Dr. Katzan’s innovation for an expanding range of beneficial results.
The F. Mason Sones Award is named for the innovator whose discovery of moving
cine-coronary angiography at Cleveland Clinic launched the modern era of cardio-
vascular care. It comes with a $50,000 prize.
