Mayo Clinic is a non-profit medical practice based in Rochester, Minnesota. Its headquarters,
the Mayo Medical School and its research facilities are in Rochester
in addition to hospitals and clinics in Jacksonville, Florida and Phoenix, Arizona.
Mayo Clinic partners with a number of smaller clinics and hospitals in
Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin, an organization known as the "Mayo Health System".
For
historical reasons, the institution is referred to as "Mayo
Clinic", rather than "The Mayo Clinic" or "Mayo's Clinic." As the clinic started
as a single small outpatient facility.
Mayo Clinic pays medical doctors
a fixed salary that is unaffected by patient volume. Salaries are determined
instead by the marketplace salaries for physicians in comparable large group
practices.
Mayo Clinic evolved from the frontier practice of Dr. William
Worrall Mayo and his two sons, William James Mayo (1861–1939) & Charles
Horace Mayo (1865–1939). Dr. William Worrall Mayo emigrated from Salford, United
Kingdom, to the United States in 1846 and became a doctor.
