Methodist Health System | Richardson Medical Center | Community Highlights | 2014

4 / 4

The distinctive Perot Museum of Nature and Science served as the backdrop
for a monumental announcement in September from Methodist Health System
to its medical staff: Methodist became the first Texas member of the Mayo
Clinic Care Network.
The collaboration allows the expertise of Mayo Clinic specialists to complement
and support the care provided by physicians on our medical staff. Now patients
who might seek care from a leading research organization, like Mayo Clinic, can
access that same expertise right here close to home.
Methodist strives to be a trusted provider of quality health care in North Texas.
Similarly, Mayo Clinic’s approach to health care is rooted in the idea that the best
patient care is achieved when experts from a variety of medical specialties can
work together, focused on the patient. The organizations’ shared vision keeps the
patient at the center of everything we do — and the result is clinical excellence.
