Northeast Ohio Medical University establishes presence in Cleveland’s MidTown Health Tech Corridor
March 3, 2026
As Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) expands its impact across Greater Cleveland, the University is making a significant investment in the region’s future by establishing a presence within the MidTown Health Tech Corridor—an area central to the Cleveland Foundation’s vision for economic growth, innovation, and community transformation. NEOMED will launch a healthcare innovation hub at the new MidTown Collaboration Center (MCC), scheduled to open in summer 2026.
“NEOMED’s presence at the Midtown Collaboration Center represents a bold step forward in connecting medical innovation with community impact,” said NEOMED President Dr. John Langell. “By embedding our programs and partnerships in the heart of Cleveland, we are accelerating the pathway from idea to implementation—and ensuring that those innovations improve lives across the region.”
NEOMED’s space at the MCC will serve as a regional engine for translating discovery into real-world health impact. It will anchor the expansion of NEOvations Bench to Bedside, the University’s nationally recognized medical innovation and commercialization program, and serve as home to strategic partnerships with University Hospitals, including collaborative initiatives advancing artificial intelligence in health care and improving maternal and child health outcomes.
“Many of our students complete clinical training in Greater Cleveland, and many NEOMED alumni serve these communities,” emphasized Dr. Langell. The MidTown Collaboration Center strengthens these connections and amplifies our shared commitment to advancing health access.”
Situated alongside a network of mission-aligned organizations, the MCC will create new opportunities for cross-sector collaboration—uniting higher education, health systems, entrepreneurs, and community partners in pursuit of shared goals. NEOMED’s investment underscores its long-standing commitment to improving health outcomes from Ohio and for Ohio.
