and medical research group in the world and has employed more
than 3,800 physicians and over 50,000 scientists allied to the
staff. It is present in the United States metropolitan areas and
has the core values of providing patient care practice
represented by the central shield. Patient care has been one of
the first priorities of this organization and it has been able to
- 2. offer highly specialized care hence most of the population in
this medical facility are referrals from smaller clinics and other
hospitals from across the United States (Ludwig, Viggiano,
Mcgill & Oh, 1980).
The rationale behind the selection of this organization is that,
this clinic has greatly contributed to understanding various
disease processes and has been able to provide best clinical
practices to patients. It has also helped with the establishment
of current residency education system in the institution. It has
developed more innovations to help researchers to actually
study the interactions between human health and the indoor
spaces. Most researchers in this health institution have actually
improved patient care hence translating discoveries into
therapies which have exponentially improved the lives of
individuals in the area (Fontana, Sanderson, Taylor, Woolner,
Miller, Muhm & Uhlenhopp, 1984).
Mayo clinic has outlined its mission to inspire and contribute to
health and well-being by providing the best care to every
patient through integrated clinical practice, education and
research. The primary value of this clinic is that the patient
comes first. The management of this clinic has also been able to
enable equal treatment of everyone within the diverse
communities including patients, their families with great
dignity. It has the compassion to provide the best care to
patients with sensitivity and empathy. This hospital has been
very successful since it has been able to adhere to the highest
standards of professionalism ethics and personal responsibility.
It has also enabled the healing process to actually respect the
spiritual and physical needs of the patients and also to make
sure that the teamwork within the working place creates much
excellence in the working environment. Mayo clinic has also
been able to deliver the best outcomes through the dedication of
all team members in this hospital. Various innovations have
also energized Mayo clinic and has greatly contributes to
enhancement of people’s lives through creation of ideas as well
as various unique talents of all employees in this organization
- 3. Ludwig (Viggiano, Mcgill, & Oh, 1980).
Mayo clinic’s success is based upon training, team work
compensation and employees who improve the general health
care system of their clients. Putting patient’s interest first is one
of the greatest successes of this institution. It has also made
greater success measures in kidney and other organ transplants,
making it different from other health institutions. Mayo clinic
has been able to be successful throughout the years in that,
there is a firewall between the physicians and the money hence
it is a fully integrated system that deals without corruption
