Florida’s population is booming, and with that growth comes the need for more services—healthcare being at the top of the list. The Sunshine State has seen a flurry of new hospital announcements in 2024, and now, Cleveland Clinic is joining the mix with big plans for a new hospital and expanded outpatient services in West Palm Beach.
Let’s dive into what this means for Floridians.
What’s Cleveland Clinic All About?
If you’ve ever heard the name Cleveland Clinic, you probably associate it with world-class healthcare. This non-profit academic medical center is driven by a mission to “care for life, research for health, and educate those who serve.” It’s a name that carries a lot of weight in the medical world—and for good reason.
Cleveland Clinic has a significant presence in Florida already, with 48 facilities across the state, including five hospitals and numerous outpatient centers. The flagship Cleveland location even earned the title of the second-best hospital in the world, according to Newsweek in early 2024.
