Mayo Clinic Ranked No. 1 ‘World’s Best Hospital’ for Sixth Straight Year
Mayo Clinic in Rochester was named the No. 1 hospital in Newsweek's list of the "World's Best Hospitals" for the sixth straight year. Mayo Clinic in Florida and Mayo Clinic in Arizona were also highly ranked. “Mayo Clinic’s No. 1 ranking is the result of our dedicated staff, who deliver unparalleled, compassionate care to our patients," says Gianrico Farrugia, M.D., Mayo Clinic president and CEO. "Patients expect and deserve category- of-one experiences from their healthcare teams, and we remain committed to setting the standard for excellence while also leading healthcare transformation for our patients and patients everywhere.”
The annual Newsweek rankings are based on patient survey results, an international survey of more than 80,000 healthcare professionals, key performance metrics – such as patient safety and quality of care – and patient-reported outcomes.
HGA Opens Design Acceleration Lab The downtown Rochester, Minnesota space will host curated design conversations.
As Rochester commits to an exciting period of expansion and downtown revitalization, HGA has partnered with local design solution partners Schmidt Goodman, Steelcase, DIRTT/SHIFTT, Ergotron, and Synergy Med Global Design Solutions, Inc. to create the HGA Design Acceleration Lab. Located in the Massey Building at 20 2nd Street SW, at the intersection of 1st Avenue and 2nd Street, the curated experience will promote design conversations with Rochester’s architecture, engineering, healthcare, higher education, and business communities. For over 35 years, HGA Rochester has positively shaped the city through transformative design based on deep insight into community needs. The firm’s studio is located upstairs from the Design Acceleration Lab. The flexible space will highlight new design research, technologies, and solutions. A virtual reality (VR) experience lab will allow participants to visually preview a space as it’s being designed. Design charettes and prototypes of design projects will be showcased onsite. Future-forward interior design solutions from Schmidt Goodman, Steelcase, DIRTT, Ergotron, and Synergy Med Global Solutions will be set up for interaction, exploring the workplace of the future.
Steelcase and Schmidt Goodman are leaders in Office, Health, and Education solutions. Through their commitment to human-centered design, they have created a Pop-up Experience within the Lab that showcases how furniture solutions can improve patient experiences and outcomes, support clinician work, and reduce cost. To energize foot traffic in the Downtown District, the Design Acceleration Lab will also be available for tours, seminars, onsite meetings, and for Continuing Education Unit (CEU) events for licensure.
