Mayo Clinic was one of the organizations that inspired Billings Clinic's organizational structure, so being part of the Mayo Clinic Care Network is an excellent fit. "Culturally, our two organizations have many similarities, including a commitment to an integrated care delivery model and physician leadership. "This new relationship creates an even closer connection between Billings Clinic and Mayo Clinic, giving patients with very complex health issues more efficient access to some of the world's most highly specialized clinical care at Mayo Clinic," says Nicholas Wolter, M.D., CEO, Billings Clinic.

"Collaborating with other medical providers to provide the best possible care for patients has always been part of Mayo's culture, and through the Mayo Clinic Care Network we can work in new ways with community care organizations to enhance the lives of patients." We have a long-standing relationship with this excellent organization and its dedicated staff, working together over the years to improve patient care," says David Hayes, M.D., medical director, Mayo Clinic Care Network.

"We are extremely excited to welcome Billings Clinic to the Mayo Clinic Care Network. MULTIMEDIA ALERT: Video and photography are available on the Mayo Clinic News Network.

Billings Clinic is the first health system in Montana to have passed Mayo's rigorous review process and been selected as a member of the network.
