Cleveland Clinic Philanthropy

VeloSano connects the cancer community with Cleveland Clinic’s expanding global impact in research, innovation and care. This year, a group of fundraisers from Cleveland Clinic London and Cleveland Clinic took part in Ride London to raise funds for VeloSano. 100% of every dollar raised for VeloSano initiatives will support transformative, lifesaving cancer research happening at Cleveland Clinic today in order to impact the lives of millions of people around the world tomorrow.

What they uncover will add translational knowledge to the overall field of cancer research and will ultimately put us one step closer to a cure. #clevelandclinic #velosano #CleClinicCancer #GivingDoesGood

Originally fueled by a Catalyst Grant, the Chance To Tryke program continues to thrive, empowering children in the communities we serve. Nathan Ogonek, PT, DPT, a physical therapist at Cleveland Clinic Children’s, recently held a second “Chance to Tryke Build Day" with his team, putting smiles on the faces of 30 adventure-seeking children – each of whom got to take home their very own adaptive tricycle. A total of 59 families have benefited from the program since its inception in 2022. The trikes are specifically designed for children with cerebral palsy, developmental delay, muscular dystrophy, arthrogryposis and many other conditions that limit their mobility. Once the children outgrow the trikes, they are returned to the program for future use. “I wanted to give our patients an opportunity to explore their surroundings and really enjoy a fun activity with the rest of their family,” says Dr. Ogonek. Of course, he knew how important movement was for building endurance, but he also hypothesized that three-wheelin’ would give the children a sense of accomplishment, freedom and pride. “I think every therapist strives to find that activity that is exciting for their patient.” Learn more about Cleveland Clinic Catalyst Grants and how you can make a difference: https://lnkd.in/gABYEnVR #clevelandclinic #GivingDoesGood

Earlier this week, the Hitchcock Center for Women held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new 77,000-square-foot residential treatment and recovery facility. Leaders from Cleveland Clinic, the State of Ohio, the City of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County participated in the event at the center’s Ansel Road campus in the Glenville neighborhood. Funding for the Hitchcock Center for Women's expansion, and support programs, comes from the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services (ADAMHS) Board of Cuyahoga County, Cleveland Clinic, the City of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County and the Finch Group. "Cleveland Clinic is committed to supporting initiatives that help improve the lives of our community members, including addressing social determinants of health which are often impacted by substance abuse,” said Vickie Eaton Johnson, Chief Community Officer at Cleveland Clinic. Established in 1978 by Jayne Mazzarella, a nurse and addiction prevention advocate, the Hitchcock Center for Women is one of the oldest drug rehabilitation programs for pregnant and parenting women in the country. What began as a 10-bed women’s half-way house, has blossomed into a comprehensive residential treatment center staffed by a multidisciplinary team of licensed clinicians, counselors and social workers.
