The Mayo Clinic, Faith, Hope and Science
The Mayo Clinic: Faith - Hope - Science tells the story of a unique medical institution that has been dubbed a "Medical Mecca," the "Supreme Court of Medicine," and the "place for hope where there is no hope." The Mayo Clinic was founded in 1883 as an unlikely collaboration between the Sisters of Saint Francis and a country doctor named William Worrall Mayo in the aftermath of a devastating tornado in rural Minnesota. Since then, it has grown into an organization that treats over a million patients per year from all 50 states and 150 countries. Dr. Mayo taught his sons Will and Charlie a simple philosophy: "the needs of the patient come first." They would not treat diseases, but rather people. In a world where healthcare delivery is typically fragmented among individual specialties, the Mayo Clinic employs a multi-specialty, team-based approach that has fostered a culture of collaboration since its inception.
