@bernese53, Thank you for all of the helpful information that you are providing for @mpflood 's upcoming treatment plan. I know I would be grateful for all the tips and insider information!

@mpflood7, just to clarify a couple of key points so you are not confused coming in to your appointments. Mayo Clinic is a comprehensive care center for a complex diagnosis, however, they will not admit you for diagnostic testing. This is only done on an out patient basis. The only circumstance where they would admit you is if they found something threating that required inpatient intervention. But as @bernese53 mentioned, Mayo is very equipped to get your appointments as close as possible in order to make your stay in Minnesota as fluid as possible and the physicians do speak through your medical record that encompasses all of your medical information, both what your referring physician provided and what each physician you see notates in your chart.

Below I have provided some close accommodations in Rochester that are within walking distance (street level or by the underground walking subway) or a quick ride on the provided shuttles. I wish you the best of luck and feel free to reach out for anymore guidance as you get your appointment scheduled and more information becomes available.
