Mar-a-Lago on Palm Beach Island, Palm Beach, Florida, USA.
Cleveland Clinic has held its annual fundraising gala at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club since 2011. But it won’t happen there next year.
The health system has announced its 2018 fundraiser will not take place at the Palm Beach, Florida-based resort, according to Politico.
With the Rise of AI, What IP Disputes in Healthcare Are Likely to Emerge?
Munck Wilson Mandala Partner Greg Howison shared his perspective on some of the legal ramifications around AI, IP, connected devices and the data they generate, in response to emailed questions.
“After careful consideration, Cleveland Clinic has decided that it will not hold a Florida fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago in 2018,” the system said in a statement. “We thank the staff of Mar-a-Lago for their service over the years.”
Cleveland Clinic received flak for hosting its event at Mar-a-Lago this past February, according to Cleveland.com.
And the criticism continued through this summer. In July, more than 1,600 medical professionals, Ohio residents and others signed an open letter urging Cleveland Clinic to choose a location that’s not affiliated with Trump.
The decision to move next year’s event comes after organizations and business leaders have been facing increasing pressure to sever ties with the president.
