The Mayo Clinic

Overview

The Mayo Clinic explores the evolution of a groundbreaking medical institution often referred to as a "Medical Mecca" and "the Supreme Court of Medicine." Founded in 1883 by country doctor William Worrall Mayo and the Sisters of Saint Francis after a tornado devastated their community, it now serves over a million patients annually from all 50 states and 150 countries. Dr. Mayo instilled in his sons, Will and Charlie, the principle that "the needs of the patient come first," fostering a collaborative, multi-specialty approach that prioritizes holistic care over mere treatment of diseases.
