Delos Cosgrove, heart surgeon and CEO of the Cleveland Clinic
Thinking about a career in health care? Concerned about health care’s unsustainable business model? The current issue of Fortune Magazine interviews Delos Cosgrove, heart surgeon and CEO of the Cleveland Clinic; here’s an excerpt of the article:
(Fortune Magazine) — Health-care reformers should study up on the Cleveland Clinic, and they know it. President Obama, who toured the clinic last July, has praised it for providing “the highest-quality care at costs well below the national norm.”
It’s easy to be impressed: The clinic is one of the world’s most highly regarded medical centers. Patients have included King Khalid of Saudi Arabia, the Prince of Wales, billionaire Al Lerner, Oprah Winfrey, Jack Nicklaus, and many others who could afford to go anywhere. It is always near the top of U.S. News & World Report’s annual rankings of America’s best hospitals, and in cardiac care it has ranked No. 1 for the past 15 years.
If you have even a remote interest in the health care debate, this interview is worth your time. Check it out here: Cleveland Clinic Chief on the Business of Health
