What the Project Is
Mayo Clinic is the largest integrated, not-for-profit medical group practice in the world. Building the future, one where the best possible care is available to everyone — and more people can heal at home — Mayo Clinic turns relentless research into earlier diagnoses and new cures. It all began nearly 150 years ago when brothers Will and Charlie Mayo pioneered an integrated, team-based approach to medicine. Today, that trailblazing spirit lives on, fostering an environment where experts work together to solve the most challenging unmet needs of patients. Every day, the institution reimagines health care, infusing decades of expertise with a forward-looking vision that is as much about compassion as it is about innovation.
