Methodist and Mayo Clinic team up
On Sept. 8, at a private event at the Perot Museum of
Nature and Science, Methodist Health System made an
announcement that will change health care in Dallas–Fort
Worth exponentially: Methodist is now a member of the
Mayo Clinic Care Network (MCCN).
What does this mean for you?
Your physicians on the Methodist medical staff can
collaborate and consult with Mayo Clinic specialists on any
medical condition to help plan the best course of treatment.
We also have access to more than 2,500 pieces of health
care literature that Mayo Clinic developed to help educate
patients on a wide range of conditions.
“The Mayo Clinic Care Network is about strengthening
existing relationships with high-quality, like-minded
health care institutions for the benefit of our patients,”
said MCCN Medical Director David Hayes, MD, at the
Perot event. “Our colleagues at Methodist are well-known
for their excellent patient care in the Dallas–Fort Worth
area. We are proud to welcome them to the network and
look forward to continued collaboration.”

After 35 years,
we’re still flying high
In 1979, Methodist Dallas Medical Center co-
founded CareFlite, the nation’s first joint-use air
medical program.
In the past 35 years, the nonprofit has grown to
include nine helicopters, an air ambulance, a ground
fleet of 65 vehicles, a training center, and more than
100 medical campuses — including Methodist
Mansfield Medical Center — and has driven or
flown more than 750,000 patients to emergency
medical treatment.
Methodist Mansfield has been a part of the CareFlite
system since we opened in 2006. We are proud to still
partner with an organization dedicated to bringing
citizens of Mansfield and the surrounding communities
to the appropriate medical care quickly and safely.
