Our objective was to put Cleveland Clinic on the map by showing not only how its
world-class expertise delivers the medical care patients need, but also provides
a true, deep empathy for a patient's raw emotions at the point of diagnoses.
Cleveland Clinic puts patients first and reassures them that they are in the
best possible hands. That is how the idea of "Letters To Tomorrow" was born. A
message to express your faith in your own survival and your complete confidence
in Cleveland Clinic through a personal letter to the one thing in life that
you're looking forward to once you get better.
