The media relations and communications teams of Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic are available to assist reporters with stories, photos, video and interviews with physicians, caregivers, faculty or students.

For reporters without access to the debate, Cleveland Clinic is at capacity for on-campus stand-up locations. Space has been limited due to COVID-19 precautions and ongoing patient care at our hospital.

Alternative locations may be available off-campus. Destination Cleveland and University Circle can assist with requests.

A daily email is anticipated to start on September 24 and will include B-roll of the debate building, its set-up process, and interviews from the Commission on Presidential Debates, Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University. Email [email protected] if you would like to be added to the distribution list.

Case Western Reserve University has faculty members available to provide insight on a variety of topics.

Cleveland Clinic media relations department can help connect you with experts who can comment on a range of topics.
