I am hoping for the availability of family practice physicians who can act as a local contact for me in case of an urgent need. I am a long standing patient at Mayo, afflicted with an incurable blood disease and have been forced by my situation to see a local doctor at another clinic for routine matters and for treatment of my diabetes. Coordinating the transfer of records back and forth is time consuming for me and for the people at the Rochester campus. Having a local Mayo doctor available would make life a lot simpler.
A educational display about the adrenal gland and “family of adrenalin-based diseases” so people can see that all hypertension just “doesn’t happen” and can be fixed with diet & pills & exercise …. if it is neuroe-endcrine in origin .. Thank You Moyo & Dr. Clives Grant / neuroendocrine surgeon for saving my life … 2007 pheochromocytoma survivor …… Dr. James A. Filipiak
I would like to see a facility that can host conventions/symposiums for medical issues. A lot of people would want to travel to these meetings due to the location. Once the meetings are done, they wouldn’t have to go back to a hotel and wait for the next conference, but be able to tour the mall. The convenience of the light rail connecting the Airport and MOA and downtown MSP would also be a plus for convention goers as well. I too, am part of the neuro-endocrine based diseases “family” and would love to see more educational based programs on rare diseases and genetic mutations. (Thank You Mayo and Dr. William F. Young, Dr. Hartzell Schaff, Dr. Carney, and Dr. Brian Brost for saving my life and safely delivering my son.)
Please open a primary care clinic so that Mayo employee like me who commute from the cities don’t have to bring young kids for minor illnesses.
i’d like to see collaboratiom and information regarding complementary and alternative treatments for prevention and palliative care.
Injury Prevention information/kiosk. Educational materials and/or possibly an interactive kiosk.
My wife and I walk the MOA 4-5 times a week, and have watched you grow there. We have also been getting our medical care at Mayo-Rochester for the last 5 years; and it’s worth every inch of the drive there from the Twin Cities!
First, whatever you offer at MOA, please make absolutely sure that the culture, ethic, and standards of Rochester are maintained. I know of no medical facility in the metro area that chooses to match the Mayo Model. (Those who have not experienced it, probably are wondering ‘what the heck I am talking about….” I can assure them, from experience, it is a far better healthcare experience. Mayo just has far more resources, and attracts a ‘different breed of healthcare professional – and I mean that in a very positive way.)
Second, allow your new patients in the metro to understand how Mayo is different. Allow them to know the history. Allow them to know about the accomplishments. Allow them to know about the medical school, the research, the endowments, and especially allow them to know that Mayo operates through the Mayo Foundation, to which thousands of people voluntarily donate to the ongoing mission of healthcare as it should be. So many donate because of the quality of superior care they receive. It’s that simple.
And last (at least for now), just keep doing what Mayo does best: Providing the World’s Best Healthcare! And by the way, “THANK YOU” for helping me when others couldn’t or wouldn’t.
Hi Richard. It sounds like you have had a great experience here at Mayo Clinic and are passionate about the care you received. Would you be interested in a video interview about your experience here at Mayo Clinic, to be made into a Sharing Mayo Clinic blogpost? If so, please send an email to: socialmediacenter@mayo.edu and include “Sharing Mayo Clinic” in the subject line. I would then contact you back.
Thanks much! Hope to hear from you soon!
Being an existing Mayo patient at Rochester Campus, as well as a Bloomington resident for most of my life (and a user of the Mayo Mile), one of the things that I believe would help those who haven’t yet had the ‘Mayo Experience” would be if they could learn more without overwhelming them. (Let’s admit it, Mayo is quite a different experience in healthcare.)
To give those yet to experience it, I’d just like to mention how helpful the videos on the history of Mayo were. Those were the ones on the television system in the clinic seating areas were. The heritage and reasons why Mayo is what it is make a lot of sense when you can see where it came from. Also, even today when I go in for an appointment, I am amazed at the breadth and range of printed material there available to learn about how to stay healthy and how to understand what one’s condition is.
If you could take and set up a video viewing area and repository of that printed material in the store area you already have next to the MOA rotunda, I believe that would go a long way to introducing people to Mayo and the Mayo Way. (If you are not sure how to keep it stocked, give me a call. We can figure that out.)
As one of the thousands of aging MN seniors suffering from osteoarthritis (facing potential knee/hip replacement–and who knows what other kinds of treatment before succumbing to that), I just recently learned that Mayo will open a clinic at MOA. While I am careful not to over-value hospital and doctor rankings, the fact that Mayo ranks #2 in orthopedics (with the next best MN institution ranking 43)and my own less-than-satisfactory experiences here in the Cities, I had begun to ask myself if I have the time and tenacity to start the process all over again with folks at Rochester. I want to encourage you to make this specialty one of your focal points. Lots of athletes along with an aging population would likely give you a guaranteed client base!
What we(includes friends and colleagues in similar circumstances)need: Lots of good, research-based information in terms of ALL kinds of treatment and broad, well-informed advising.
What we don’t need: Dismissive nods, lots of pushing of meds along with websites and DVDs that send sweet messages on pre- and post-operative care; how competent the docs/nurses/staff are; how wonderful friendships are forged in their support groups, etc.
When will you open your doors??
Mr. Scholtz, Create Your Mayo Clinic Health Experience at MOA should open within the next several weeks.
