| Around
the turn of the 20th century, two physicians
on the Minnesota frontier envisioned a new
way to practice medicine: "As a cooperative
science, the clinical, the specialist and
the laboratory workers uniting for the good
of the patient, each assisting in the elucidation
of the problem at hand and each dependent
on the other for support." They envisioned
a system in which patient care was continually
improved through research and new knowledge
passed on to the next generation through education.
Their vision became the Mayo
Clinic. Today, more than 2,000 physicians
and 35,000 allied health staff work in the
Mayo
system, treating nearly a half a million patients
annually. Through growth and change, Mayo
remains committed to its heritage: cooperation
for the good of the patient. |

| Every
day, many people mortgage their long-term
health with the lifestyle they lead today.
Behaviors such as smoking, poor diet, lack
of exercise and not wearing seat belts are
among the factors that increase a person's
risk of getting sick or dying prematurely.
However, general knowledge of these risks
do not always change behavior, and people
don't necessarily know which of their risks
needs the most attention. Health
Risk Assessments (HRAs) provide a scientific
way of turning intuitive knowledge into measurable
odds. |
