In the mid 1880s, the brothers
Mayo transformed the rural
community of Rochester,Minnesota,
into an internationally acclaimed center
of medical excellence. In the early
1900s, physicians from North America
and Europe flocked to the Mayo
Clinic to learn from the best. And they
did!
The Mayo Clinic was a household name
for many of us while growing up.
Its image creates an emotional comfort
that represents over 120 years of proven
medical success.
The Mayo Clinic and its Cancer Center
is the research base and statistical
center
for several National Cancer Institute-
sponsored research networks, including
the North Central Cancer Treatment
Group and the American College of
Surgeons and Oncology Group. Several
decades ago, the Mayo Clinic expanded
to Jacksonville, Florida.
Now their presence is extending to
The Villages!

As of December 3,
2010, we are pleased
to announce our affiliation
with the
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center
Research
Network. This unique
consortium will
offer residents in our
region clinical
studies available to all
Mayo patients,
delivered locally in
The Villages.
Under the guidance and
direction of
this affiliation, patients
can receive
optimal care in the
comfort of their
home community.
Select surgeons,
radiation and
medical oncologists in
our locale
will participate in these
protocols.
Because of the long-standing
respect for one another as well
as our
high level of accreditation,
the Mayo
Clinic Cancer Center
Research Network
will be utilizing the
resources and
expertise of the Robert
Boissoneault
Oncology Institute
to deliver radiation
oncology care.
Since all of the required
technical/treatment support is already
in
place, there is no requirement
for donations of any kind.
"We feel it is time for residents
to focus … on their cure"
