For the past 15 years, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF) has been ranked as the number one hospital in the U.S. in Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery.

In 1999, DAFH and CCF signed a collaboration agreement. CCF agreed to provide medical and administrative support to DAFH.

The hospitals also agreed to promote exchange programs for training of physicians and other personnel.

The agreement also allows CCF to participate on DAFH�™s Board of Directors and as a partner and shareholder in the hospital.
