NEOMED and the Cleveland Browns partner to expand health care education impact

NEOMED and the Cleveland Browns have announced a partnership, beginning with the 2024 season that kicks off in September. This strategic alliance will further develop NEOMED's capacity to address public health issues facing Northeast Ohio communities through education and advocacy.

"Everything we do at NEOMED is a team sport-training the next generation of physicians, pharmacists, dentists and scientific researchers," said NEOMED President John Langell, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H., M.B.A. "As a 'Proud Partner' of the Cleveland Browns, we can increase access for our students to serve the communities of Greater Cleveland. Nearly 4,000 NEOMED graduates are health care professionals working across Ohio."

As part of the partnership, NEOMED will be prominently featured at Cleveland Browns Stadium, as well as on the NFL team's website, social media and gameday media network. The University's students will benefit from participation in exclusive events to engage with the Browns medical staff and the organization's "Browns Give Back" community initiative. The initiative presents the opportunity for NEOMED to collaborate on innovative, impactful community outreach involving students in Northeast Ohio.

"We greatly appreciate NEOMED's commitment to enhancing pathways for young people to pursue professional degrees in health care and are proud to team up with them", said Haslam Sports Group Vice President of Community Relations, Jenner Tekancic. "Their focus on serving the local community through volunteerism and their attention to developing young leaders is not only timely, but essential for Northeast Ohio."
