"I have done a lot of research on Cleveland Clinic and found several accomplishments relating to the discovery of serotonin back in the 1940s. I had no idea that Cleveland Clinic played such a pivotal part in the research and development. Mental health issues like depression are at the forefront of healthcare today. I would love to be part of an organization that can develop such incredible breakthroughs to further the research and development of mental health medications and treatments."

"I am always fascinated by the evolving treatments and preventions for cancers. So many Americans have dealt with cancer personally or know a friend or family member impacted by it. I know that Cleveland Clinic developed a vaccine to prevent deadly triple-negative breast cancer, which is amazing! I would love to know more about the achievements the organization has had in this area of healthcare."
