Siemens Healthineers and Cleveland Clinic Form 10-Year Strategic Alliance for Advanced Imaging and Care Innovation

西门子医疗 and Cleveland Clinic have announced a 10-year strategic alliance designed to foster clinical and workflow innovation that enhances patient care and operational efficiency across the health system’s locations. The agreement builds on a 35-year relationship and expands collaboration in diagnostic imaging, cardiology, and radiation oncology, while creating a more personalized experience for patients.

Under the strategic alliance, Siemens Healthineers will provide multiple diagnostic imaging and therapeutic technologies to Cleveland Clinic, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), radiation oncology, interventional radiology, and X-ray. The company will also expand its existing on-site team of more than 30 employees dedicated to supporting Cleveland Clinic, including technicians and training personnel with expertise to support the development of a theranostics cancer-treatment program, an emerging approach that combines targeted imaging and therapy to personalize cancer care.

Additional areas of collaboration include supporting Cleveland Clinic as a Center of Excellence for MRI technologist education, providing expertise in ongoing clinical education, protocol optimization, technologist skill development, radiation-safety education, and support for physicians in expanding the use of CT into cardiology, radiation therapy, and image-guided procedures. The alliance is also expected to create opportunities for research, education, workforce development, and innovation in the integration of intelligent software and automation into imaging workflows.

The alliance will also contribute to broader economic development through investment in Cleveland Clinic’s Main Campus, job creation, and continued growth in the Cleveland Innovation District. Siemens Healthineers and Cleveland Clinic are also exploring future initiatives focused on biomedical engineering training and clinical education geared toward workforce development, both at Cleveland Clinic and in the greater Cleveland region.

Peter Liu, M.D., Chair of Enterprise Imaging at Cleveland Clinic, said the strategic alliance with Siemens Healthineers will help bring more consistent, connected, and advanced imaging and treatment services to patients. Liu noted that by aligning technology, service, and clinical support more closely across the global health system, the organization can improve access, increase efficiency, and create a better experience for patients, adding that this collaboration builds on a strong foundation and positions the health system to continue innovating for patients and communities.

John Kowal, President and Head of the Americas at Siemens Healthineers, stated that through the longstanding relationship with Cleveland Clinic, Siemens Healthineers has achieved important advances in the diagnosis and treatment of serious disease resulting from more than 100 research projects and 70 peer-reviewed publications. Meanwhile, Siemens Healthineers looks forward to many more years of innovation and continued positive impact on patient care.
