Our relationship with Mayo Clinic opens a new chapter for Altru Health System and gives Altru the opportunity to bring a new level of care to our region. Having access to Mayo Clinic’s knowledge and expertise comes with higher expectations for the quality of the care we provide. We are working towards achieving quality outcomes equal to the top providers in the nation.
