Mayo Clinic
For over 160 years, the mission of Mayo Clinic has been to inspire hope and to promote health and healing through the integration of clinical practice, research, and education on behalf of the patients, communities, and learners we serve from across the nation and the world.  Each of Mayo Clinic's three Destination Medical Center (DMC) campuses in the United States are fully engaged in clinical practice, innovative research, and education and training.  These three campuses - referred to as the Mayo Clinic enterprise - include Rochester, Minnesota (MCR); Jacksonville, Florida (MCF); and Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona (MCA).  In addition, Mayo Clinic fully owns and operates a community-based rural health care delivery system (the Mayo Clinic Health System; MCHS) which extends through 49 rural communities in southern Minnesota, western Wisconsin, and northeastern Iowa. 

For the past eight years, Mayo Clinic has been ranked as the No. 1 health system in the nation and the world, with the most #1 ranked medical specialties, by U.S. News & World Report, Newsweek, and other healthcare quality organizations. Each of the Mayo Clinic hospitals on the three Mayo Clinic campuses have also been consistently ranked as the #1 hospital and the #1 cancer center and cancer hospital in their respective state.  Mayo Clinic also has the largest integrated organ transplant program in the nation and conducts more clinical trials driving research and testing new therapies and interventions compared to any other institution in the United States. In 2025, with a staff of more than 85,000, including more than 7,300 physicians and scientific investigators, Mayo Clinic cared for more than 1.3 million unique patients who came from all 50 U.S. states and 135 countries.             

Mayo Clinic: The 2030 Bold. Forward. Strategic Plan
Health care has operated in an environment where patients have had the least control. Technology, data-driven knowledge, artificial intelligence (AI), consumerism, and "platform thinking" will establish the next generation of health care. To thrive in this environment, healthcare organizations must break through the old paradigm and transform scientific research and healthcare access and delivery on behalf of the patients we serve. By remaining true to its primary value, "the needs of the patient come first," and the RICH TIES core values of Respect, Integrity, Compassion, Healing, Teamwork, Innovation, Excellence, Stewardship, Mayo Clinic is driving the transformation of biomedical research and health care through its 2030 Bold. Forward. Strategic Plan with the framework Cure, Connect, and Transform.

Cure.
Cure is dedicated to accelerating discovery, translation, and delivery of more cures for both chronic and acute diseases. Mayo Clinic is differentiating itself through the conduct of highly innovative discovery science and its translation to enable the delivery and diffusion of the next generation of diagnoses, treatments, and cures. This includes new in vivo and in vitro medical, surgical, and radiologic therapies and interventions delivered physically within our healthcare facilities and digitally and virtually in patient's homes and community settings. 

Connect.
Connect is focused on connecting people with data to create new knowledge and delivering scalable, end-to-end solutions. This means making our healthcare delivery systems more accessible for patients, but also easier for providers, researchers, and other partners to collaborate to conduct research and clinical practice to create new solutions.  In new programs such as Mayo Clinic Care Beyond Walls, Cancer Care Beyond Walls (CCBW), and Clinical Trials Beyond Walls (CTBW), Mayo Clinic is creating a digital care delivery model that maintains a human touch. 

Transform.
Transform means creating a new future for healthcare focused on a scalable, AI-enabled platform for the conduct of research and care delivery. Mayo Clinic is driving the "platform transformation" of health care by creating Mayo Clinic Platform - what we believe is the first true large-scale platform in health care - and building highly innovative research and clinical programs, including the Mayo Clinic Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Program.

Mayo Clinic Platform
To drive the "platform transformation" of healthcare, Mayo Clinic has created the Mayo Clinic Platform (MCP), healthcare's first comprehensive, dynamic, scalable, AI-enabled research engine and patient care platform. Through MCP, Mayo Clinic has created the world's largest collaborative, distributed, federated healthcare data network (MCP Connect), with a cloud-based data architecture holding the longitudinal healthcare records of 54 million patients from across the world.  Four MCP Connect network members are ranked among the world's top 10 healthcare systems (Mayo Clinic, University Health Network (UHN) - University of Toronto/Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Sheba Health System of Israel, and Singapore National Health (SingHealth)). From Mayo Clinic alone, MCP holds the fully digitized longitudinal healthcare records from 15M Mayo Clinic patients, including 705 million patient encounters, 3.2 billion laboratory results, 1.65 billion clinical notes, 8.1 billion radiographic images (X-ray, CT, MRI, PET), the world's largest repository of digitized pathology slides (20 million), and 662 million diagnoses. The clinical data in MCP is further linked to repositories of patient biospecimens and highly annotated epidemiologic and research data sets, facilitating scientific discovery and translation to clinical endpoints and the ability to build AI-driven predictive models to improve patient care. While each MCP partner holds its own secured privacy-protected patient healthcare data in its "node" in the network, the creation of a shared data architecture for the network and an anonymized, de-identified data layer facilitates rapid collaboration across the globe. 

By applying our knowledge and expertise in the biological, medical, physical, engineering, computational sciences and AI, to the world's largest healthcare dataset in MCP, we are driving innovative research in many diseases, discovering new cures, enhancing access to clinical trials, and transforming how we deliver cancer care within our facilities and "beyond our walls" in patient homes and community settings. We are also making significant investments on our campuses to transform healthcare for all by seamlessly integrating physical spaces and digital capabilities and by harnessi...
