About us
Mayo Clinic has expanded and changed in many ways, but our values remain true to the vision of our founders. Our primary value – The needs of the patient come first – guides our plans and decisions as we create the future of health care. Join us and you'll find a culture of teamwork, professionalism and mutual respect, and most importantly, a life-changing career. Mayo Clinic was founded in Rochester, Minnesota by brothers Dr. William James Mayo and Dr. Charles Horace Mayo. More than 100 years later, their vision continues to evolve around a single guiding value: "The needs of the patient come first." Today we are the largest integrated, not for-profit medical group practice in the world. We are recognized for high-quality patient care more than any other academic medical center in the nation. These endorsements are very gratifying, but also humbling. They remind us of the tradition that has been entrusted to each one of us, and the legacy of excellence that we uphold every day.

As an Arizona Mayo Clinic transplant social worker, Joan Welty had seen firsthand how life-changing living kidney donation can be. In March 2024, she decided to step forward herself — donating one of her kidneys through a non-directed donation. Her gift not only helped a woman across the country leave dialysis behind, but also gave Joan a profound sense of joy and purpose. "It might seem like a big ask, but it really isn't," she says. "We can live healthy, full lives with one kidney — and the difference it makes for someone else is extraordinary." Joan's message is simple: If you've ever thought about becoming a living donor, learn more. Your decision could give someone a second chance at life.

Every person's brain wave network is unique — and Mayo Clinic researchers are using that insight to personalize treatment for people with drug-resistant epilepsy. By mapping each patient's brain wave network, clinicians can pinpoint the precise area for deep brain stimulation (DBS), leading to more targeted care and the potential to move beyond seizure control — toward a cure. "Our goal is to tailor neuromodulation for each patient," says neurologist Nick Gregg, M.D., lead author of a new study in Annals of Neurology. Learn more: https://mayocl.in/4oOMT3M

Youth sports aren’t just about developing athletic skills — they’re also about learning teamwork, resilience, and confidence. But sometimes, adult behavior can unintentionally get in the way. A Mayo Clinic pediatric sports medicine specialist, Dr. David Soma, reminds us that when parents shout instructions, criticize performance, or apply too much pressure, it can take the joy out of the game — and even drive kids away from the sport altogether. Most parents want the best for their children. The challenge is knowing when to coach, when to cheer, and when to simply let kids play. Modeling respect, composure, and perspective can make all the difference — both on and off the field. https://mayocl.in/4pfLaEv How do you approach leadership as a parent, coach, or mentor? What have you learned from being on the sidelines?

Current genetic screening guidelines fail to identify most people with an inherited condition known as familial hypercholesterolemia that can cause dangerously high cholesterol and early heart disease, a Mayo Clinic study found. The condition often passes silently through families for generations. It is highly treatable, yet people who remain undiagnosed are at greater risk for heart attacks and strokes.
