The Mayo Clinic: Faith-Hope-Science presents the narrative of a medical institution that has been referred to as the "Medical Mecca," the "Supreme Court of Medicine," and the "place for hope where there is no hope." The Mayo Clinic was founded in 1883 by the Sisters of Saint Francis and a country doctor named William Worrall Mayo in the aftermath of a terrible tornado in rural Minnesota. Since then, it has developed into an institution that annually treats over one million patients from all 50 states and 150 countries. Dr. Mayo taught his sons Will and Charlie a basic philosophy: "the needs of the patient come first." They would treat people as opposed to diseases. In a world where healthcare delivery is often fragmented among specialized specialties, the Mayo Clinic employs a multi-specialty, team-based approach that has fostered a culture of collaboration since its founding.
