The needs of the patient come first.

Local Outreach

Mayo Clinic in Florida is dedicated to supporting and positively impacting the health and well-being of all people through advances in medical practice, education and research. Our community benefit activities reflect work in transforming healthcare as well as the confluence of factors that impact health and well-being — socio-economic and environmental factors, lifestyle, and educational components of health and quality of life. On the Florida campus, community benefit activities include investment in programs and initiatives designed to improve the health, well-being and quality of life for local and regional residents and communities.

Mayo Clinic provides funding and in-kind support for new and existing programs and initiatives that address significant and emergent unmet or underfunded needs specific to our health need priorities of access to care, chronic diseases, mental health and cancer in addition addressing health disparities. Community benefit activities align efforts to enhance the clinic's capacity to meet its mission, improve individual and overall community health, enable long-term capacity-building and sustainability, and accelerate collaborative endeavors with other community agencies, organizations and constituents.
