Cleveland's Health Care Industry

The Land for Life Saving

Cleveland's health care industry is a major economic pillar

Cleveland has long been known as a health care destination. It should come as no surprise, then, that our health care industry serves as a major contributor to the region’s economy, generating billions of dollars and thousands of jobs, and driving the region’s innovation, research, education and, yes, even bragging rights.

Our hospital systems are committed to reflecting the amazing diversity of our community, with Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and MetroHealth all pledging to increase workplace diversity in 2023. That kind of commitment pays off, as Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals are notably the top two employers in Cuyahoga County, respectively. Cleveland Clinic additionally seeks to give back to its neighbors through programs to heal, hire and invest in the community.

The industry's impact on our local economy is undisputed:

  • The Cleveland region's health care output grew $3.8 billion from 2007 to 2019.

  • Health care employment increased 21% from 2001 to 2019, with 270,400 workers in 2019.

  • In 2023, we're averaging about 10,000 open health care positions.

With so many excellent institutions to work for, the only real question is which to apply to first?

The Land for High-Quality Care

Cleveland's top-tier hospital ecosystem

Cleveland Clinic

The world-renowned Cleveland Clinic has ranked #1 in cardiology, vascular and heart surgery every year since 1994 by US News & World Report and was recently named the #2 hospital in the world by Newsweek. It was the pioneer of coronary artery bypass surgery and performed the country’s first face transplant.

As of 2023, Cleveland Clinic is a certified “Great Place to Work,” with 81% of employees surveyed claiming it’s a great place to work, compared to 57% at a typical U.S.-based company. Beyond the accolades, Cleveland Clinic shows up for the local economy, with a staff of 192,656 and an economic output of $34.55 billion in 2019. Cleveland Clinic employs about 77,000 people worldwide, with about 48,000 of those in Northeast Ohio.
