Health System - Chair of Hematology-Oncology

Mayo Clinic Health System

Mayo Clinic Health System (MCHS) is a vital and growing part of the broader Mayo Clinic enterprise. As a community-based health care delivery system, MCHS operates independently within Mayo Clinic’s integrated practice model, with a distinct mission to provide high-quality care close to home in the communities it serves. MCHS includes 16 hospitals and more than 40 multi-specialty clinics, delivering care communities across Minnesota and Wisconsin and is home to 14k employees.

With a vision to be a Category of One community health system, MCHS brings Mayo Clinic expertise to rural and regional populations—where providers see more than 600,000 unique patients and manage over 2 million outpatient visits annually.

• Mission:
  To inspire hope and contribute to health and well-being by providing the best care to every patient through integrated clinical practice, education, and research.
• Vision:
  To be a Category of One Community Health System and provide Mayo Clinic care close to home.
• Value Statement:
  The needs of the patient come first.

The Hematology–Oncology service is a strategic priority for growth. It provides services in these communities through 18 physicians, 10 infusion centers across MCHS, and a strong team of advanced-practice providers, nurses, social workers, dietitians, and pharmacists and includes 3 community-based cancer centers, based in MCHS hospitals and clinics in La Crosse and Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and in Mankato, Minnesota. The MCHS sees over 3,000 new cancer cases per year (>2,200 of whom are seen in the La Crosse, Eau Claire, and Mankato community cancer centers alone) and has a close working relationship with the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center and colleagues in Mayo Clinic Rochester, MN.

The overarching strategy is for MCHS to bring the expertise of Mayo Clinic to these communities and surrounding areas. At MCHS, patients have access to a full spectrum of health care options, with more than 100 medical and surgical services and specialties available throughout the system. When needed, patients transition seamlessly to highly specialized care for advanced and complex cancers at Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center (MCCCC) in the Mayo Clinic Destination Medical Center campus in Rochester, Minnesota.

The MCHS network provides a unique opportunity to transform rural community care nationally, via community-based research. The Mayo Clinic Cancer Center works closely with MCHS to advance research and run clinical trials to achieve its mission in community settings, especially rural settings.
