“I am as excited about assuming this role as I am humbled to follow in the footsteps of Herbert P. Wiedemann, MD, MBA, who masterfully led the institute for more than a decade,” says Dr. Dweik. “We are doing amazing things in respiratory medicine at Cleveland Clinic — mainly driven by the fact that we are highly subspecialized and have many high-functioning teams in all important disease areas.”
Dr. Dweik served as the institute’s Interim Chair since March 2018, when Dr. Wiedemann was appointed Cleveland Clinic’s Chief of Staff.
