During this time of great transformation in our world, one emerging trend is encouraging – that of great and important collaborations happening. In the spirit of true sustainability and putting your health first, one very special and critical partnership is happening in Arizona and the result is strengthening patient care. Tucson Medical Center (TMC), as a single community hospital, does not have a large system of hospitals behind it. Partnering with the Mayo Clinic, with 4500 physicians and scientists who focus on complex care, gives TMC access to the entire footprint of the Mayo Clinic. It gives TMC the ability to tap into the knowledge of one of the most progressive health care systems in the world without ever leaving southern Arizona. How did this joint effort come to be and what is the impact for the thousands of people who look to TMC for their care each and every day? This show made possible due to the generous support of Tucson Medical Center.
