The Cleveland Clinic has announced a $23 million gift from the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation to create an executive leadership institute.

The Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Global Leadership and Learning Institute will focus on the development of experiential learning opportunities, simulations, and research-driven content for future healthcare leaders, as well as trainings based on Morton Mandel's book It's All About Who You Hire, How They Lead. The gift also will create the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Global Leadership and Learning Pathway, a training initiative designed to groom top-performing Cleveland Clinic caregivers for executive leadership roles.

The foundation's past support for the Cleveland Clinic includes gifts to create the Morton L. Mandel Chair for Urologic Cancer Research at the Glickman Urological Institute; the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Preventive Medicine Suite; and the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Conference Center at the clinic's new health education campus.

"The new Mandel Global Leadership and Learning Institute will allow high-quality programs to be delivered in a technologically advanced platform in the new Samson Pavilion at the health education campus," said the institute's chief talent development officer, Gina Cronin. "Thousands of Cleveland Clinic caregivers will take part in these expanded leadership programs, focusing on their professional development for today's healthcare sector and preparing themselves for healthcare leadership of the future."
