How Our New Neurological Building Will Democratize Care Access Through Distance Health

Cleveland Clinic’s 1 million-square-foot Neurological Institute building will open in 2027. The facility will be dedicated to the outpatient and inpatient care of disorders of the brain, spine and nerves. Imaging, infusion, physical/occupational therapy and surgical services will be offered, complemented by research labs. The building will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology intended to put Cleveland Clinic at the forefront of what neurologic Institute leaders call the ‘3 D’’ — digitization, discovery and distance health. The new building will help standardize clinical excellence and quality in neurological care across other Cleveland Clinic care sites and beyond, says Dr. Andre Machado, MD, PhD, chief of the Neurologic Institute. It will also enable expanded physician-to-physician collaboration and real-time sharing of imaging and electrophysiology findings. It is the largest and most technologically advanced neuroscience-focused facility in the world, Dr. Machado says.
