Hospitals in pursuit of excellence

Achieving Health Equity—A Discussion with the 2016 Equity of Care Award Winner

In 2016, Cleveland Clinic was honored by the American Hospital Association (AHA) with its Equity of Care Award. The award was created to recognize outstanding efforts among hospitals and health care systems to advance equity of care to all patients and to spread lessons learned and progress toward achieving health equity. Cleveland Clinic has demonstrated sustained commitment to the National Call to Action to ensure equitable care for all persons in every community and supporting AHA's #123forEquity Pledge Campaign, which launched in 2015.
