Dear Colleagues:

On behalf of the Mayo Clinic Board of Governors, welcome to the 2025 Annual Meeting of the Staff.

Every year, patients from all 50 states and 135 countries come to Mayo Clinic for care and expertise that exists nowhere else. We also annually impact more than 50 million additional lives through Mayo Clinic Platform – enabling better care and outcomes – thanks to your hard work and innovations.

The impact we make is truly remarkable and – at the same time – never enough. To continue to put patients’ needs first, we launched our Bold. Forward. strategy to Cure, Connect and Transform healthcare over six years ago. Since then, we have moved from an idea to more cures, to more actionable knowledge, to a transformational platform model for Mayo Clinic, and a blueprint for all of healthcare. Our investment in our patients and ourselves through safe and patient centered AI is paying off as we collaborate with leading tech and data science partners to translate clinical insights into high-impact, end-to-end solutions. Thanks to you, we are truly living out our mission and values.

At the same time, as part of our strategy, our Bold. Forward. Unbound. plan to fully integrate the physical and digital healthcare experience will bring our patient-centered innovations together in new structures across all of our sites. As has been true since our founding over 160 years ago, the tools, insights, and procedures developed by you and your colleagues – delivered in reimagined spaces – will continue to set the bar for Category-of-One healthcare.

All of this is possible because of your commitment to Mayo Clinic and our patients. Thank you for your dedication and stewardship during this digital and physical transformation that will define Mayo Clinic and all of healthcare for decades to come.

With gratitude,

Gianrico Farrugia, M.D.
President and CEO
