Donors and community celebrate grand opening
In February, Cleveland Clinic Florida marked the opening of the new Egil and Pauline Braathen Center, a 144,000-square-foot facility housing the expanded Pauline Braathen Neurological Center and Maroone Cancer Center. The celebration began with a special night to recognize the donors whose generosity made the building possible, and a weekend of community health screenings and tours of the facility. Doors officially opened to patients on March 2.

The Maroone Cancer Center was designed with patient-centered features and amenities in mind including advanced diagnostic, radiosurgery and radiotherapy capabilities; a leading-edge family friendly chemotherapy infusion suite; and full-spectrum patient support and services.
“This building was designed to provide hope and world-class care in a time when we see more neurological diseases and cancers than ever as the population ages,” says Wael Barsoum, MD, President of Cleveland Clinic Florida.
