Affiliate Programs page 1 of 2


Cleveland Clinic heart surgery Affiliate Programs experienced another  successful year, providing outstanding surgical care close to home. Two new  clinical affiliations were established: Chester County Hospital in West Chester,  Pennsylvania, and the Swedish Heart and Vascular Institute in Seattle,  Washington. Overall, the Affiliate Programs contributed 5,111 cases to Cleveland Clinic’s total surgical volume—3,076 cardiac procedures, 1,337 thoracic procedures, and 698 other procedures (vascular and pacemaker). Cleveland Clinic and its Affiliate Programs have found that sharing standard clinical  protocols, quality management, and efficiencies in administrative practice is  mutually beneficial for the clinical staff and patients at each respective hospital.
