The story of Minnesota: Medical Alley and DMC

General

Patient access. Innovation. Economic growth. 

If you’ve ever heard Shaye Mandle of Medical Alley Association speak, the story he shares sounds remarkably like the story of DMC. That’s because he is telling the story of Minnesota, and as home to Mayo Clinic, Rochester has long been the cornerstone of conversations related to medicine in the state and throughout the nation.

“Mayo Clinic has been one of the most important members of [the Association] since it was founded in 1984,” says Mandle, Medical Alley’s president and CEO. “They are the number one, gold standard for clinical excellence in this country.”
