Where Medical Innovation Happens

Healing the once impossible with every medical innovation and breakthrough.

Innovations that accelerate the future of health care don’t happen by sitting idle or accepting the status quo. They require steady determination. Work, and a lot of it. It’s being dogged and daring and precise and humble, sometimes at once, sometimes in the shifts we can spare. It’s one elevator pep talk, one encouraging smile, one patient at a time. It’s hope with a passion, science with a cause. It’s the powerful but quiet promise we share; that all we’ll ever do is give our all.

We make the impossible possible.

For the physicians and teams who find themselves at Mayo Clinic, this isn’t just a profession, it’s a calling—an undeterred purpose, with unignorable stakes. It’s this personal and collective drive that leads to solving the unsolvable faster, to adapting smarter, combining expertise sooner, and sharing knowledge freely. Because we know all that work, and re-working, all the inventing and wondering, every single off-the-cuff or on-the-fly idea could have the life-changing potential to save a patient, develop a cure, become the discovery that reshapes everything.

Our 3D printing models, for instance, allow physicians to create life-size organ models to map out even the most intricate surgeries—making them more precise, more efficient, and less invasive. Advanced imaging makes it possible for care teams to literally see possible solutions that otherwise may have gone undetected. Even artificial intelligence, once unimaginable outside of fantasy, is real and tangible here and our teams are using it to create personalized gene road maps to customize treatments to help fight disease. Here, real people facing some of life’s biggest challenges get access to this unrivaled collaboration, technology, expertise and, most importantly, a path forward when it’s needed most.
