Cleveland Clinic
Specialty Services Symposium: Medical, Surgical and Quality
June 3, 2008 InterContinental Hotel & Bank of America Conference Center | Cleveland, Ohio

Sharing World-class Developments With You...

The summer edition of Speaking of Specialty Services focuses on the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is here where Cleveland Clinic brings advanced treatments, education and groundbreaking research exclusively to the treatment of neurocognitive disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and where we keep working to enhance our quality measures and outcomes in the field of Neurological practice. The Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health provides world class neurological care in a world class setting. By engaging architect Frank Gehry, Keep Memory Alive Chairman Larry Ruvo generated a highly captivating marketing vehicle in the form of a building that houses the Center for Brain Health. Gehry’s architecture presents an idea and builds awareness and hope; the work done inside builds towards a cure. Words cannot do the building justice.

Cleveland Clinic is proud to be providing advanced neurological care for the Las Vegas market. In September, we will host our 2010 Heart-Brain Summit at the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. The Summit will enable participants to gain insights from key opinion leaders on heart-brain interactions, and hear updates in the field. Health care professionals will learn of recent discoveries that relate to new treatments for cardiovascular and nervous system disorders and assess their implications for clinical practice. I encourage you to learn more about this exciting summit, and invite you to visit us in Las Vegas.

Enjoy the summer edition of Speaking of Specialty Services.
