Living Mayo Clinic Values
At Mayo Clinic, we are dedicated to caring for our patients, our communities, and one another. This commitment is reflected in the way our staff generously share their time and unique talents—not only within our clinics and hospitals, but also through active engagement in local volunteer efforts.
We encourage our team members to participate in volunteer opportunities that foster healthier communities, with a focus on education, human services, culture, and a sense of belonging.
Who We Are
Our Mission is to advance Mayo Clinic’s commitment to be a socially responsible enterprise by supporting and extending Mayo’s strategic mission of integrated practice, research and education through active community engagement practices.
Our Vision is to be a proactive partner, inclusive of diverse and underserved populations. We are committed to supporting community efforts that address identified community health needs, contribute to community vibrancy, and advance our shared values of belonging, collaboration, and stewardship.
