Mayo Clinic Jacksonville is the admitting hospital for the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. It is one of three campuses along with Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona and Rochester, Minnesota [1]. Mayo's campus is located on 400 acres that were donated by Jacksonville's Davis Family [2]. The clinic's opening in 2008 created 304 beds and 22 operating rooms on San Pablo Road in Jacksonville [1] and offers care in more than 35 medical and surgical specialties [3]. A large variety of medical services a patient may need are available at Jacksonville's Mayo Clinic including doctor's visits, testing surgery, emergency care and hospital care [1]. In a 2008 examination of 5,453 United States hospitals, US News & World Report ranked the facility 23rd in adult specialization for rheumatology and 46th in adult specialization for gastrointestinal disorders.[4][5].

In another U.S. News rating, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville was rated as a Nationally Ranked Hospital in 7 Adult Specialties, a Regionally Ranked Hospital #1 in Florida and #1 in the Jacksonville metro area, and Rated High Performing in 3 Adult Specialties and 9 Adult Procedures/Conditions [6].

The three main buildings are the Davis Building, the Mayo Building (including the hospital) and the Cannaday Building. They are connected to two hotels, The Inn at Mayo Clinic and Marriott’s Courtyard Jacksonville Mayo Clinic/Beaches [3]. Laboratory research is also conducted on Mayo’s campus [7]. Mayo’s research is focused on cancer, neurological and neuro-degenerative diseases [1]. The goal of this research is to bring the advances from laboratory research to patient care as quickly as possible [8].

With a $70.5 million expansion plan, more than 300,000 square feet of space will be built over the course of five years beginning in 2017 [2]. This will allow for the growth of hundreds of staff positions and 100 physicians [2]. The expansion will provide: space for cardiovascular, radiology and cardio-thoracic surgery program areas, expansion of the spine center and pain rehabilitation programs, additional surgical rooms, space and equipment to establish a molecular imaging center for radiology and laboratory expansion [2]. Four new floors will be added to the Mayo-South Building and 40,000 square feet in the Davis Building will be remodeled [9]. Three additional buildings will be constructed; one will provide integrated services of complex cancers and have space for neurologic and neurosurgical care, one will be a lung restoration center to allow for more transplantations, and the third will include a positron emission tomography (PET) radiochemistry facility [9].
