The Cleveland Clinic is widely regarded as being among the country's foremost hospitals in the areas of cardiology, neurosurgery, and apparently … racism.
That's what is being alleged about the medical facility, as reports from a media watchdog organization claim Cleveland Clinic has pocketed hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding while pushing "discriminatory" race-based programs.
From the Daily Wire:
Do No Harm, an organization dedicated to depoliticizing medicine, reported Monday that the Ohio clinic is engaged in a range of 'discriminatory behavior.' This behavior includes recruitment strategies explicitly for minorities, minority-exclusive scholarships, and adopting 'supplier diversity' policies.
Obviously, when someone is in need of the best medical care available, the first thing they consider is how "diverse" the hospital's policies are, right?
On top of the allegations of discriminatory practices, the report details the astronomical amounts of government funding the hospital has received — and used to push such policies.
According to analysis from Do No Harm, the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine is currently the recipient of around $170 million in active grant funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Around $50 million of this goes toward 'indirect' costs while the Cleveland Clinic Foundation has over $5 million in active projects from the NIH, according to Do No Harm.
One of the examples cited by Do No Harm included a July 2020 $1.2 million five-year grant given to the Cleveland Clinic and Cleveland State University with the goal of increasing the 'number of minority scientists in Cleveland area.'
So, if you're ever experiencing a medical emergency or seeking treatment in the greater Cleveland area, rest assured that you'll get the most "diverse" care possible …
… all thanks to your tax dollars.
