It is important to not push my beliefs on others but rather to inform myself so I can be more understanding and supportive. Along this topic, I am also thinking about how important it will be to be inclusive in my verbiage near holidays. I should not assume that everyone celebrates the

Cleveland Clinic was founded in 1921; the idea behind the clinic was to have physicians form a group and provide health services; each member of the group brings a specialty to the group which would be shared by the group. The idea to have shared facility was based on the fact that, no single individual is subject matter expert in every field and to provide an efficient and accurate health services, physicians need to have a group of medical experts who will not only provide services but will also share learning in field of academics and research.
