Mayo Clinic

Overview

The world-renowned non-profit Mayo Clinic is located just outside of Fountain Hills in Scottsdale. This Mayo Clinic first opened in 1987, and since then has grown into a multi-campus system that includes Mayo Clinic, the Mayo Clinic Collaborative Research Building, and the Samuel C. Johnson Research Building on the Scottsdale Campus, and the Mayo Clinic Hospital and the Mayo Clinic Specialty Building in northeast Phoenix. In Arizona, Mayo Clinic employs over 5,000 personnel, and diagnoses and treats over 100,000 patients per year. Approximately 76% of these patients are from Arizona.

Treatment Approach

In Arizona, Mayo Clinic emphasizes the team approach to delivering health care services in more than 65 specialty and surgical disciplines, including programs in cancer treatment and organ transplantation. Mayo Clinic pays medical doctors a fixed salary that is unaffected by patient volume. Salaries are determined instead by the marketplace salaries for physicians in comparable large group practices.

Location

Mayo Clinic Scottsdale campus is located on a beautiful, 284-acre Sonoran Desert site at the foot of the McDowell Mountains in the far eastern edge of Scottsdale, Arizona, next to Fountain Hills. With peaceful walking paths and solitude away from the hustle and bustle of the city it’s an ideal environment to nurture your health.

Facilities

The five-story outpatient clinic on the Scottsdale campus includes approximately 300 exam and procedure rooms, an outpatient surgery center equipped for general anesthesia, a full-service laboratory, a pharmacy, a patient-education library, an endoscopy suite, a 188-seat auditorium for patient and physician-education programs and a multilevel parking garage. A concourse level offers amenities and services to patients, such as a gift shop and a lounge area with televisions, telephones and vending machines. Also located on the Scottsdale campus is a Courtyard by Marriott with 124 rooms.

Research

Mayo Clinic opened the Samuel C. Johnson Medical Research Building on the Scottsdale campus in 1993. Scientists conduct medical research in fields such as molecular genetics, cell and molecular biology. In 2005 the Mayo Clinic Collaborative Research Building (MCCRB) was added. The MCCRB houses Mayo Research business offices, researchers and investigational labs plus offices for Mayo Clinic's strategic partners: The Translational Genomic Research Institute (TGen), Arizona State University (ASU) and InNexus Biotechnology. Ongoing clinical research trials at Mayo Clinic offer patients access to new investigational treatments before they become FDA-approved and commercially available.
