Mayo Clinic was No. Mayo Clinic ranked No. Mayo Clinic has more No. Mayo Clinic staff members work to deliver the highest standards of care and transform scientific discoveries into critical advances for unmet patient needs.
Noseworthy, M. More than 1. Mayo Clinic's physicians are salaried to eliminate any financial pressure from patient care decisions. This is just another step in our history. We're the first and largest physician-led group practice of medicine supported by research and education, and we've been a model for a lot of other groups, some of whom you've covered.
We've been at this for a long time. Why has Mayo been so successful? I think it all comes down to our core value, which is that the needs of the patient come first.
I know that might sound kind of trite in today's world, but our staff is extraordinarily committed. If you spend a day here, and you grab anybody at the Mayo Clinic and ask them what's the purpose of your work, they would say "to meet the needs of our patients. I've been working here 22 years and I've never had a physician say they're too busy to help me with a patient, day or night.
That's probably why Mayo has been the leading brand in medicine for the last years. What do you guys do to build that brand? Sometimes we have to make decisions that don't make a lot of sense from a business standpoint, but they're the right thing for the patient.
I mean, we don't want to make stupid decisions that will get us in financial trouble, but whenever anything comes up, there is a singular focus on that.
In my role, what I hear every day from patients and family members is that the minute they step onto a Mayo campus, whether it's in Rochester, Minnesota; Scottsdale, Arizona; Florida; or in our large integrated health system, they immediately sense that there's something different.
They feel it right form the first person they speak with and it's the physicians, it's the science, it's the engineers and technologists. It's that patient focus and a relentless focus on quality. This goes all the way from the heart surgeons down to the cleaning staff. We have a very strong research effort — we invest million a year in our research, half of that is Mayo dollars [and] a third of it comes from the National Institutes of Health. Our research is very integrated.
You've probably seen our logo; it has three shields that intersect. Those represent practice, education, and research. For research, we do the full spectrum of discovery research, translational research, then clinical outcomes research, but what we say is that our discovery research is about creating hope and solutions for patients, a reason to come to Mayo Clinic for diagnosis or new treatment.
Our basic science and physician researchers are completely integrated into the Clinic and they work very closely with the physicians to understand the key questions that are out there, so that their work has real meaning. When I said we sort of have a three-legged stool about how we approach the future, one is driving quality, the second is improving the speed with which research gets right into the patient's room, we call that "knowledge to delivery.
We have five schools in our education system, so we train an awful lot of folks from technologists all the way up through heart and brain surgeons, but we recruit heavily from the outside as well. Whenever we post a nursing position, we usually have over 20 applicants for that single position because people want to work at the Mayo Clinic.
You have to assume, well you don't assume it you check it, but first of all is the person qualified to work at Mayo clinic? If [physicians] come from outside and we don't know them, they basically come for a 2- to 3-day visit where we watch them practice and teach as well as talk about their science to see if they're a good fit for us.
Competence and passion and compassion are all necessary, but there has to be a fit. We're not looking for individuals, we're looking for people who can be part of and lead teams, because teams and systems of care always beat individuals. When they're hired, they're kept on for 3 years before we decide whether they'll stay as full consultants. Bolton himself is the administrative partner to president and CEO John Noseworthy, a neurologist and multiple sclerosis specialist.
Putting doctors in charge of the organization is one way that the Mayo Clinic ensures that it provides the best care for patients. This approach is taken by the entire clinic, including its research and educational branches. This also is unusual in health care. He added that the salaries are consistent within specialties: All cardiologists are paid the same, all neurosurgeons are paid the same, and so forth. Would some physicians hesitate to work in this kind of environment? The Mayo Clinic has its own set of challenges, however.
A central one involves maintaining both financial sustainability and the quality of care that has made it world-famous. Bolton also talked about the complexity of running a hospital system today, including the massive capital demands of health care. Investors who espouse environmental, social and governance ESG principles will achieve little by selling their shares in so-called "dirty" companies, according to new research co-authored by Wharton's Jules H. Yet rental housing is not a reliable option for most because of lack of development and other challenges.

Growing up in Minnesota, we were frequent visitors to the small town of Rochester to see exhibits and partake of education offerings at the then small and only Mayo Clinic. Early on, I learned a great deal from their health education experiences and because Mayo Clinic valued teaching all ages and in all modalities , it has become a foundational principle in my life to learn and to share healthcare knowledge with others.
I hold fast to the healthcare values they instilled through their community education program, appreciating their programs such as the Shared Decision Making model and forward thinking approach to health care education to enrich patient experience and learning.
Mayo Clinic left an imprint on my life as a child and it has grown to be legacy of how I care for and share with others. So many lives have been touched by simple values of two brothers who knew what it truly meant to put the needs of the patient first. I know I have!
