Mayo Clinic Model of Care

The Mayo Clinic Model of Care is a set of principles that have guided our organization since its earliest days. They are the reason patients come to Mayo. Many health care facilities offer high-quality care, but these are the principles that set Mayo Clinic apart.

The Mayo Clinic Model of Care is defined by high quality, compassionate medical care delivered in a multispecialty, integrated academic institution.  The primary focus, meeting the needs of the patient, is accomplished by embracing the following core elements (attributes) as the practice continues to evolve.
