It's arguably the most well-known name in all of American medicine: Mayo Clinic. When you can't figure out what's wrong with you and you've exhausted all your local doctors, you end up going to Mayo.
Now, Mayo is coming to the Lake of the Ozarks.
In a dramatic announcement last month, Lake Regional Health System announced they would be joining the exclusive Mayo Clinic Care Network. That means when you get treatment at Lake Regional, the medical staff have Mayo Clinic resources behind them. This is a pretty exclusive deal -- there's only one other medical system in Missouri with this kind of connection.
I sat down for a short interview with Mark Larson of Mayo Clinic and Kevin McRoberts of Lake Regional, right after the announcement at Lake Regional Hospital, and they helped unpack exactly why this is such interesting news for healthcare at the Lake. (Pardon the audio quality, we had a pretty minimal setup!)
