Chair, Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital Board of Directors
Throughout 2017 and 2018, I felt optimistic while working alongside fellow members of the Indian River Medical Center Board and Indian River County Hospital District to secure the most promising future for our hospital, ensuring the best healthcare for our community.
This year’s progress exceeds my expectations, and I feel confident that the hospital board, district trustees and members of our community would concur.
Collectively and individually, Indian River’s health outcomes will steadily improve with access to standards of care developed, instructed and sustained by Cleveland Clinic.

Chair, Cleveland Clinic Indian River Foundation Board of Directors
When our hospital joined Cleveland Clinic this year, many fellow foundation donors questioned the need for their continued philanthropic support. After all, we joined the Cleveland Clinic. How would our gifts make
a difference?
The need for your support remains high. Cleveland Clinic is a nonprofit organization, operating at barely a 2 percent margin. And yet, it consistently ranks among the top five healthcare organizations in the U.S. The difference is philanthropy. At the enterprise level, gifts support innovation, research, medical education, community care and more.
At the local level, philanthropy provides access to care otherwise not immediately available, such as our advanced stroke program made possible by our very generous community.
As donors and caregivers, we are better together. We can do more together. We can make a difference together.
