Company Need:
Canon Healthcare USA sought a site that would bring together a cross-institutional team of clinician-scientists and engineers to pioneer state-of-the-art technologies in imaging systems such as MRI, CT, Molecular Imaging, Ultrasound, and X-ray. The project needed to support joint research projects focused on cardiology, neurology, and musculoskeletal medicine and include three major components – pre-clinical assessment, human imaging, and technological development. This site needed to become a hub for developing further U.S. and global collaborations.
Testimonial:
"We are committed to improving patient care through innovative technology based on the ‘Made for Life’ philosophy. This collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, alongside existing and developing relationships with other major academic medical centers through activities such as multi-center studies, allows us to leverage our mutual strengths to enable a future that delivers on this promise.”
– Hisashi Tachizaki, President of Canon Healthcare USA
Why Ohio?
The center will be part of the Cleveland Innovation District, a more than $500 million public-private partnership that brings the State of Ohio and JobsOhio together with Cleveland’s healthcare and higher education institutions to accelerate research, create jobs, and educate the workforce of the future.
The potential synergies with the Cleveland Innovation District attracted Canon to launch Canon Healthcare USA as its new U.S. healthcare subsidiary in Cleveland in February 2023. Canon Healthcare USA is also in close proximity to Canon Medical Research USA and the newly opened Canon Medical Academy USA and Quality Electrodynamics.
