HLTH
Cleveland Clinic Innovations is heading to HLTH 2025 from October 19–22! Our team will join healthcare leaders in Las Vegas to explore this year’s key themes: AI and emerging tech, cardiometabolic health, women’s health, health equity, and more.
We’ll be connecting with innovators, investors, and industry partners to discuss how our portfolio of digital health and healthcare technologies is shaping the future of care through strategic licensing and partnerships. We’re also looking forward to hearing from Cleveland Clinic leaders shaping the future of care, including Tom Mihaljevic, MD, CEO & President, and Rohit Chandra, PhD, Chief Digital Officer.
If you're attending HLTH, we’d love to connect. Let’s turn breakthrough ideas into real-world solutions.
Connect with our team:
• Gerald J. Wilmink, PhD, MBA - Director, Business Development
• Sonja OMalley, MBA, PMP - General Manager, Business Development
• Linda Li, MSc, CFA - Partner, Ventures
• Todd Schwarzinger, MBA - Partner, Ventures
