Cleveland Clinic's Health Talks are free community seminars held each month at The Cleveland Clinic's main campus and at several suburban Family Health Center locations. The seminars feature presentations by leading Cleveland Clinic physicians and allied health professionals.

These discussions provide an in-depth look at individual health concerns such as diabetes self-management, chronic pain and cancer. Each lecture is followed by a question-and-answer period.
Attendance and registration are open to all.
