Mayo Clinic is one of the best known medical
organizations in the world. Doctors from every medical specialty
work together at Mayo to care for patients, joined by common
systems and a philosophy of "the needs of the patient come
first."
More than 3,300 physicians, scientists and researchers and 46,000 allied health staff work at the original clinic in Rochester, MN, and newer clinics in Jacksonville, FL and Phoenix, AZ. Collectively, the three clinics treat more than half a million people each year. Mayo also operates medical schools at its three locations.
The Mayo Clinic in Minnesota is made up
of Rochester Methodist Hospital, Saint Marys Hospital and Mayo
Eugenio Litta Children's Hospital. Cancer treatment is a specialty
at the Mayo Clinic.
Mayo Medical School has trained and graduated more than 1,000 students since 1972. The school enrolls 50 students per year, and it also trains visiting medical clerkship students and Summer Minority Medical Students.
In 2008, the Mayo Clinic organization had group revenues of $7.2 billion. Net income was $205.3 million.
Mayo Clinic is known for its strong research organization with 3,162 people employed in research. Total donations, endowment and private grants collected in 2008 at the Mayo Clinic were $236 million.
History
Mayo Clinic evolved gradually from the
frontier practice of Dr. William Worrall Mayo and his two sons,
William J. and Charles H. Mayo. The elder Dr. Mayo emigrated
from his native England to the United States in 1846. He became
a doctor in 1850. In 1863, he was appointed a Civil War examining
surgeon for the Union enrollment board, first Minnesota district.
In 1864, the Mayos moved to Rochester where the enrollment board
was headquartered.
Dr. Mayo's two sons began their medical
training early, first by observing, and later by assisting their
father on patient visits and with autopsies. Dr. Will said, "We
came along in medicine like farm boys do on a farm," learning
as they went. After graduating from medical school -- Dr. Will
from the University of Michigan Medical School in 1883, and Dr.
Charlie from Chicago Medical College of Northwestern University
in 1888 -- both sons returned to Rochester and joined their father's
practice.
In 1883, a tornado swept through Rochester
leaving in its wake many deaths and injuries. Temporary hospital
quarters were hurriedly improvised in offices and hotels. Nuns
from the Sisters of St. Francis, a teaching order, were recruited
as nurses. The experience inspired Mother Alfred Moes to request
that the Drs. Mayo join with them to build the first general
hospital in southeastern Minnesota. The 27-bed Saint Marys Hospital
opened in 1889 as a result of this partnership.
With the completion of the 1914 building
on the site of the current Harold W. Siebens Building, the Mayos'
practice was officially called Mayo Clinic; a name used by visiting
physicians and patients long before it became official. The number
of registered patients had soared to 30,000.
More than 6 million people have been treated
at Mayo Clinic since its founding.
