Mayo Clinic
One of the most respected names in the global healthcare industry; Mayo Clinic in Rochester – Minnesota, evolved from the practice of Dr. William Worrall Mayo in the 1880’s and rose to fame under the management of his sons, Dr. William James Mayo and Dr. Charles Horace Mayo. Later famous medical practitioners like Dr. Augustus Stinchfield, Dr. Henry Stanley Plummer and Dr. Graham along with three others joined the Clinic as partners and added value to the establishment.
Mayo Clinic moved to the Plummer building in 1928, which was designed by Mayo Clinic partner Dr. Plummer, who is considered by many as the pioneer of modern medical systems and practices. Today on the Mayo Clinic campus, the Plummer Building on account of its architectural brilliance is a huge attraction.
