Expanding to meet the demand for the Cleveland Clinic model of care. Patients come to Cleveland Clinic Florida seeking the outstanding patient care we’ve provided for more than 25 years. An integral part of the Ohio-based Cleveland Clinic family of facilities in the U.S. and abroad, Cleveland Clinic Florida is a not-for-profit, multispecialty, academic medical center that integrates clinical and hospital care with research and education. To meet the demand for broader access to Cancer and Neurological care, Cleveland Clinic Florida has embarked on an ambitious growth plan that will provide the most innovative care for patients. Advancing Cancer and Neurological Care Thanks to a generous $30 million donation by longtime patient Pauline Braathen, Cleveland Clinic Florida’s Weston medical campus will soon feature a new 143,000 square foot, five-story building. It will house the new Pauline Braathen Neurological Center as well as the Maroone Cancer Center, supported with major funding from the Maroone family.
The Egil and Pauline Braathen Center will be home to the Pauline Braathen Neurological Center and Maroone Cancer Center.
Scheduled to open in February 2015, this new facility will include state-of-the-art technology and advanced equipment that will allow Cleveland Clinic to elevate the level of healthcare in South Florida, while continuing to enhance the patient experience. By investing in the Weston campus, Cleveland Clinic Florida will be equipped to provide the most specialized care possible in a unique environment optimized for healing and putting Patients First. The Egil and Pauline Braathen Center will include: n
A world-class neurology center with expanded patient services
n
A comprehensive cancer center to deliver advanced cancer care
n
Florida’s first hospital-based Varian Edge™ radiosurgery suite with submillimeter accuracy and real-time tumor tracking

The Patients First Principle Patients First is the guiding principle of Cleveland Clinic. It declares the significance of patient care, comfort and communication in every part of the patient experience. Patients First also demands a relentless focus on measurable quality. By setting standards, collecting data, and analyzing results, Cleveland Clinic puts patients first, resulting in improved outcomes and better service. The guiding principle of Patients First even extends to facility design. Designers of the new Cleveland Clinic Florida Egil & Pauline Braathen Center on the Weston campus embraced the health and wellness benefits of natural light. Both the exterior and the interior design help maximize internal access to natural light, creating a lightfilled, functional and sustainable building.
