I too must post my enthusiasm for Mayo Clinic. I have been a patient at Mayo Jacksonville since 2006. I watched it grow from just Davis building to a hospital) and a dozen other buildings built since then.

I have the same heart failure and EP doctors that I saw in 2006. We have grown old together.

What I really love is when one specialist wants to do a new medication, they will say I have checked with your other medical providers, and they concur with the recommendation. They have what the call team approach to care. Their motto is "Patients First."

I also like the fact that I can have lab and x-rays done in the morning and when at an appointment in the afternoon the results are there.

The only drawback to Mayo 2006 and Mayo 2025 is the growth. If you go in the mornings, make extra time to find a parking space.

I am not a rich man, but I am a member of Legacy Program at Mayo Clinic and will be leaving a donation on death in my will. I donate to Mayo Clinic almost every month. One of my favorites is the Samaritan Fund. This fund is set up for those who do not have insurance to come to Mayo Clinic.
