Now
that Methodist Health System is a member
(the first in Texas!) of the Mayo Clinic Care Network,
we have the opportunity to collaborate with Mayo
Clinic specialists and bring an enhanced level of care to
our patients.
The international network comprises high-quality
medical organizations who collaborate with Mayo
Clinic to bring best practices, research, and expertise
directly to patients.
Here are a few mock scenarios depicting how
patients at Methodist might benefit from our
relationship with Mayo Clinic.

Carolyn had experts in her corner
Carolyn was excited to find out that she was expecting her third
child. But shortly into her second trimester, the 38-year-old
discovered a lump in her left breast.
Carolyn’s medical oncologist reviewed her case with Methodist
Charlton Medical Center’s tumor board. The team of specialists in
medical and radiation oncology, surgery, radiology, pathology, and
other areas met to determine the best way to treat Carolyn’s cancer
while not harming her unborn child.
Because Carolyn’s situation was so unique, the Methodist
team decided to present her case at Mayo Clinic’s eTumor
Board conference for further discussion. This panel is similar to
Methodist Charlton’s, but it includes Mayo Clinic specialists and
is open to physicians throughout the Mayo Clinic Care Network.
This access to Mayo Clinic expertise is one of the benefits that
comes from being part of the network.
The experience of these physicians offered additional valuable
input. The collaboration among specialists at Methodist Charlton
and Mayo Clinic resulted in a thorough, personalized course of
treatment for the mother-to-be, giving both patients — Carolyn
and her baby — the best-possible chances.
