[MUSIC PLAYING] I think Mayo is a truly unique institution.And what makes them so special is that they collaborate well,listen to each other, and most of all,they listen to the needs of the patient.The primary value of Mayo Clinic isthe needs of the patient come first.And that's been the primary value of Mayothroughout its 150 year history.We are focused on addressing the needs of our patientsfirst and foremost.That's what makes Mayo different.It's the model of care where people are not incentivizedwith anything but to take good care of patients.It has to begin with listening to them.Fortunately, here at Mayo we're affordedthe time necessary to sit down and listento them, to understand the nature of their symptoms.That part of listening is really,I think, a central core of the clinic.That pervades everything that we do.And that is a unique environment to work in.Everybody here is a working unit.And coordination implies, just as it says, physiciansinteracting with other physicians.More minds are better than one.So when you're evaluating a patientwith a complex neurological problem--We can bring colleagues from many different areasof medicine, expertise across virtually any field--We all each bring different perspectives.And that collective intelligence is something that, I feel,truly unique to the Mayo Clinic.I think one of the strongest reasons patients come hereis for that coordinated care.We bring a tremendous expertise.Our Department of Neurosurgery isone of the largest neurosurgical practices in the world.There is nothing that can be done anywhere on the planetthat you cannot get here in the neurosurgical realm.All aspects of neurological care isavailable at the Mayo Clinic.The size, the scale, the infrastructurethat supports us here, allows patients to be seen hereand have a level of coordinated carethat's difficult to duplicate anywhere else.We're very proud of our number oneranking in U.S. News and World Report.And it's something we've held many, many times.We are recognized as being among the nation's very top, the verybest in what we do, as neurologistsand as neurosurgeons.To see that high ranking is reaffirming for people.That they are doing the right thing.But we don't rest on our laurels,and we continue to try and do better,because our patients really deserve that.Care of patients is about meeting their needs.Research is about meeting their unmet needs.Neurosurgery is one of those rare specialties of medicinethat is greatly impacted by new discoveries and new treatments.Research is definitely something that Mayo does very well.We consider research to support the practiceby bringing the most cutting edge treatmentsand ideas to a patient's care.If they need surgery, they're goingto have surgery done in a state of the art operatingroom with the absolute best technology and equipmentavailable.And that makes it much safer for patients.The wedding, or the melding, visual imagery with roboticsor other types of tools, works well in what we do.And that team approach, the expertise,the technology which we can apply to patients to treat themis truthfully why a patient should come here.Because it's all about the people that are here.We have a group of colleagues whoare very dedicated to the ideals of Mayoand to the primary value, which is, the needs of the patientcome first.It's very meaningful to me and my colleagues.Our mission is really to do the best for our patients,and that's why we stay here at Mayo.[MUSIC PLAYING]
