![]() The Cleveland Clinic added a 184-bed hospital to its outpatient facilities in 1924. To provide "better care of the sick, investigation of their problems, and more education of those who serve," they set aside a portion of the institution's revenues for research, and other non-income producing activities. Returning from the war, they recruited John Phillips as a fourth founder, and built and dedicated (1921) the first Cleveland Clinic building on EUCLID AVE at 93rd Street. LOWER, and JOHN PHILLIPS, served in the LAKESIDE UNIT in World War I, and fashioned the Cleveland Clinic on the military model of cooperative medical specialties. In 2005, it was the second-largest private medical group practice in America, including 1,400 physicians in 120 medical specialties and sub-specialties, serving more than a million patient visits a year. The CLEVELAND CLINIC FOUNDATION (incorporated February 5, 1921) is an independent, not-for-profit academic medical center engaged in patient care, research, and education.
