Mayo Clinic is a not-for-profit medical practice and medical research group specializing in the treatment and diagnosis of rare and hard to treat conditions. Patients are referred to Mayo Clinic from across the U.S. and the world, and it is known for innovative and effective treatments. Mayo Clinic is known for being at the top of most accredited quality standard listings. For example, it has been near the top of the US News and World Report List of Best Hospitals for more than 20 years. The primary value of the institution is that “the needs of the patient always come first.” The practice is highly collaborative, and a strong research presence is evidenced by the fact that over 40% of its resources are devoted towards research (rather than just medical practice).
