Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rogers was on defense, but not from opposing linemen. Not only was he answering questions from the press about the outcome of the game after Tampa Bay beat the Packers for a trip to the Super Bowl, but also questions about his future, and speculation he might be looking to go to another team. That line of questioning led him to proffer the following sentiment for the sports writers to chew on: “(Folks) change is the only constant in this business.”
My father, Al Sims, had a similar line when I asked him once about a magazine he subscribed to called Change. While it was focused mostly on higher education (he was executive vice president of College Boards at the time), he was insistent that change was the never-ending variable in life.

An overview map produced for the innovation district effort in Cleveland s Midtown neighborhood shows how four of the five institutions in the JobsOhio partnership touch the Health-Tech corridor. The MetroHealth System is further west, but its focus on understanding and addressing health disparities is deeply relevant to the neighborhoods along the corridor.
A $565 million research and education partnership unveiled last week with the goal of creating 20,000 jobs and billions of dollars of economic impact in Cleveland over a decade is a major milestone in a broader push to reposition the region for growth.

A new Cleveland Clinic center focused on understanding and combatting emerging pathogens will serve as an anchor for an emerging innovation district on the city s East Side.
Challenging a long history of rather sporadic collaboration efforts, three health systems and two universities have forged a $565 million partnership to spark innovation and economic growth.
Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, MetroHealth, Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland State University are working together to form an innovation hub with ambitious plans to create more than 20,000 jobs in the next decade, accelerate discoveries, grow research spending, build and attract businesses, and more.

Cleveland Clinic will invest $300 million in building a Global Center for Pathogen Research and Human Health at its main campus as part of the Cleveland Innovation District announced Monday.
Cleveland will be the home to Ohio’s second “innovation district,” a health-care focused, $565 million job-creation partnership with the city s three major hospitals and Case Western Reserve and Cleveland State universities.
Gov. Mike DeWine said the state expects the Cleveland Innovation District to spark 10,000 new direct jobs, through research and new businesses created or moving to the region along with 10,000 indirect new jobs and about $3 billion in economic impact as a result of the investment.
