TeamworkThe very necessities of the case are driving practitioners into cooperation. The best interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered, and in order that the sick may have the benefit of advancing knowledge, union of forces is necessary….It has become necessary to develop medicine as a cooperative science; the clinician, the specialist, and the laboratory workers uniting for the good of the patient….The people will demand, the medical profession must supply, adequate means for the proper care of patients, which means that individualism in medicine can no longer exist.
Dr. William J. Mayo Rush Medical College
June 15, 1910
26
Altruism• The Mayo brothers’ gifts to create Mayo Clinic were worth more than $200 million in 2016 dollars.
• This doesn’t include free care for clergy, physicians and military veterans and those who couldn’t afford it
27
ProgressIn America our idealism is not unusual, nor does it differ much from that of medical faculty of other countries; if we excel in anything, it is in our capacity for translating idealism into action.
Dr. Charles W. Mayo, Mayo Aphorisms, p. 10
The glory of medicine is that it is constantly moving forward, that there is always more to learn.
Dr. William J. Mayo, Mayo Aphorisms, p. 75
28
StewardshipNow my father had certain ideals. He believed that any man who had physical strength, intellectual capacity or unusual opportunity held such endowments in trust to do with them for others in proportion to his gifts.
Dr. William J. Mayo addressing a committee of the Minnesota Legislature
March 22, 1917

Dr. Charlie on Social NetworkingThe problem before us is so to exchange information, and so to educate men through travel that there shall develop a final, cosmopolitan system of medicine which will combine the best elements to be found in all countries.
Mayo Aphorisms, p. 22

Dr. Will on Sharing KnowledgeIt is a great thing to make scientific discoveries of rare value, but it is even greater to be willing to share these discoveries and to encourage other workers in the same field of scientific research.
Mayo Aphorisms, p. 61
31
Dr. Will on AdaptationIt is for the younger people to meet the conditions of their generations in the way that appears to them to be wise and best.
Mayo Aphorisms, p. 50
