Request to update basic facts

[edit]

Hello editors, my name is Jessica. I am a representative from Mayo Clinic here to make some suggested improvements to this article both now and in the near future. I hope editors find that these suggestions overall improve Wikipedia. Below, I have a list of basic factual updates that can improve the article.

In the infobox:

  • Update chair to Michael Powell.[1]
  • Update number of employees to 76,000 (2022).[2][3]
  • This fact sheet is currently cited in the infobox already, but the citation needed to be updated and reformatted, so I have done that here.
  • Update revenue to $16.3 billion (2022).[2][3]

In the Corporate affairs section:

  • Replace "Samuel A. DiPiazza, Jr., retired CEO of PricewaterhouseCoopers, is chairman of Mayo Clinic's governing board of trustees." with "Michael Powell, former chair of the Federal Communications Commission, is chair of Mayo Clinic's governing board of trustees.[1]"
  • Replace "Mayo Clinic employs 63,000 people, including more than 4,500 physicians and scientists and 58,400 administrative and allied health staff, as of 2018." with "Mayo Clinic employs 76,000 people, including more than 7,300 physicians and clinical residents and over 66,000 allied health staff, as of 2022."[3]"
  • Delete the sentence "Of those, approximately 34,000 are based in Rochester." The sentence is written like it is current but this is outdated information and I suggest removal.

Innovation section

[edit]

Hello I would like to make a new suggestion for this article to the Innovation section:

  • Add to the beginning of the section:
    • Mayo Clinic leads hundreds of clinical trials and offers therapies such as CAR-T and proton therapies. They are currently one of the leading research centers for the COVID-19 epidemic and were one of the first institutions offering plasma exchange for this patient population. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mayo Clinic developed and adopted treatments that reduced mortality rates and patients with COVID-19 who received care at Mayo Clinic had a lower mortality rate than at other hospitals.[1] Mayo Clinic cofounded the national COVID-19 Health Care Coalition, a private industry effort to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak.[2] During 2021, the clinic cared for more than 160,000 COVID-19 patients and tested more than 1.1 million people. It also administered more than 500,000 COVID-19 vaccines and provided more than 19,000 monoclonal antibody infusions.[3] Mayo Clinic Laboratories developed highly accurate diagnostic and antibody tests, performing more than 3.1 million COVID-19 tests for patients nationwide. Fourteen new COVID-19-related tests were launched, and more than 100 new tests of all types were provided to patients and clients in 60 countries.[4]
  • Add "In collaboration with real estate firm Delos Living, Mayo Clinic launched the Well Living Lab in September 2015. This research facility is designed to simulate real-world, non-hospital environments, allowing Mayo Clinic researchers to study the interaction between indoor spaces and human health.[5]"
  • Replace "The Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation was established in 2008. It has since worked on over 270 projects.[6]" with "The Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation, established in 2008, was one of the pioneers of innovation in healthcare. It has since worked on over 270 projects and is often considered a role model for using design in healthcare.[7]"
  • Add "The video content addresses important questions and answers and is designed to aid in the decision-making process between patient and doctor.[8]" following the sentence that says, "In March 2018, Mayo Clinic and Mytonomy, a healthcare education system company, partnered to provide video content for cancer patients."

Article structure

[edit]

Hello, I wanted to propose some content rearrangement to this article in order to streamline it and make it a bit more readable. I work at Mayo Clinic and have a conflict of interest, which is why I'm seeking consensus here on the Talk page.

  • Change the heading of "Corporate affairs" to "Operations" and then remove the heading named "Core operations"
    • It seems a bit redundant to have all these different headings that mean similar things while also having no prose directly under "Core operations" (instead it moves right into subsections)
  • Place the three subsections of "Clinical practice" "Research" and "Education" under the new "Operations" section heading

I think this would help the overall flow of the page. Let me know if there are any questions. JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 17:02, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Knee revision surgery

[edit]

Six years ago i had double knee replace surgery, and after the first two years i started complaining of pain and instability in my left knee. first was told nothing wrong than was told bone spurs were the cause of pain and instability, to where i was told that i needed a revision to correct it. My Question is this is it typical of a doctor to use parts from two different manufactures in one knee for the top and bottom and can this cause the instabilityab be part of the cause for a revision to be done?
