MPR: How does Mayo stack up against its competitors?

Minnesota Public Radio analyzed Mayo Clinic's competition on Saturday, March 1. Here's an excerpt from the transcript:

While Rochester is already a destination city for tens of thousands of Mayo patients and visitors each year, competition among several well-funded, global medical centers is part of the reason the clinic needs to build for the future.
