THE OPPORTUNITY
At Mayo Clinic/St. Luke’s, health care means more than
the delivery of medicine. It means a patient-focused philosophy
built on excellence and innovation; a tradition that reaches
back over a century of extraordinary care; and careers defined
by challenge and professional fulfillment.
THE PARTNERSHIP
We offer two distinct settings in Jacksonville, FL.
 Mayo
Clinic is a multispecialty outpatient clinic providing
medical and surgical care for adults. Opened in Jacksonville,
FL in 1986, it is our first extension beyond Rochester, MN.
Today we employ nearly 300 physicians and about 2,000 allied
health professionals. Working together in collaborative specialist
teams, we provide medical diagnosis, treatment and surgery
services. In addition, our patient care activities are supported
by extensive medical education and research programs.
 St.
Luke’s Hospital is a 289-bed, not-for-profit,
non-denominational hospital providing services for most medical
and surgical specialties. As the first private hospital in
Florida, St. Luke’s Hospital has served the Jacksonville
area for more than 125 years. We became a Mayo Clinic hospital
in 1987. We have 19 surgical suites, a 24-hour Emergency Department,
a 10-bed Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and a 17-bed
Family Birth Place. With more than 2,000 employees, St. Luke’s
is connected by both philosophy and videoconferencing networks
to Mayo Clinic sites in Jacksonville, FL, Scottsdale, AZ and
Rochester, MN.
Together, these two facilities have combined to set a strong
new standard in North Florida health care. Mayo Clinic/St.
Luke’s is now a multi-organ transplant center providing
bone marrow, liver, kidney, pancreas, heart and lung transplants.
BENEFITS

EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Medical education at the Jacksonville campus has grown rapidly
and today includes medical student clerkships, Mayo Clinic
Jacksonville-based residency and fellowship programs, continuing
education courses, allied health training opportunities and
much more.
Undergraduate Medical Education
Mayo Medical
School offers MD degree training and, in cooperation with
Mayo
Graduate School, a seven-year MD-Ph.D. program. Mayo Foundation
provides grants for these programs to Arizona and Florida
residents.
Allied health professionals are vital to the delivery of
quality medical care. Physicians depend on them for help in
diagnosing diseases, treating and rehabilitating patients,
and providing other essential medical and surgical services
that affect the life and well-being of patients.
 To
meet the increasing demand for these highly trained professionals,
Mayo School of Health Sciences (MSHS) offers several distinctive
professional programs at their Jacksonville campus.
Mayo Clinic/St. Luke’s
Hospital Volunteer Services
Our patients come first. Regardless of where they are during
the course of their visit, our primary concern is for their
well being, comfort and security. Acknowledging this important
facet of patient care a Volunteer Services Program was established
to assist patients and staff members in many areas throughout
the Clinic and Hospital. This "personal touch" not
only helps make patients and family members more comfortable,
but provides a service to Clinic staff. Additionally, it is
a source of pride, enjoyment, challenge and good feelings
for the volunteer.
