Mayo Clinic has a history of more than 140 years. It is a comprehensive, non-profit medical
institution.
Standing at the gate of its headquarter, Mayo clinic looks like a five -star hotel. Mayo clinic
is one of the best clinics in the US, and it is also a landmark in Rochester, Minnesota.
Here is an example, when people look for hotels in Booking.com, almost every hotel shows
its distance between Mayo Clinic , or indicates that it will provide shuttle bus service.
Now Rochester has an ambitious plan: using its brand and spending $6.5 billion to build a
global medical tourism destination.
More and more wealthy people from Europe, East Asia and the Arabian countries are more
willing to go to the United States for medical treatment and high quality medical services.
Medical institutions like Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and Cleveland Clinic
are among their top choices.
Now, the city of Rochester wants to turn it into a hottest medical tourism destination by
using the brand of Mayo Clinic . They launched an aggressive 20- year- plan, aiming to
double its population in Rochester , and build a global biotechnology center there.
