Cleveland Clinic Martin Health also provides
job incentives for nursing graduates by offering
$15,000 in loan repayment a year to new hires with
good standing. Singh adds that the hospital encourages
nurses to become leaders in their field by
providing programs to educate and develop their
skills and competencies.
As Singh looks to the future for the hospital, he
draws upon its past by pointing out Cleveland
Clinic’s 100-year history. As president, he says he’s
very excited with the challenge and the opportunity
to help the community and to create a continuously
improving health care organization for the future.
“Cleveland Clinic has been here for 100 years,
and we will be for the next 100 years,” he says.
“We often ask, ‘What does the landscape look like
beyond us here in 100 years? What does the landscape
of this community look like? Are we going to
make an impact now that will be helpful toward our
improved future?’
“We are excited for the future of what Clinic Martin
Health can offer the community and take stock of what
we are doing each and every day to achieve this.” E
