Advanced diagnostics, redefined
As the only hospital reference lab integrated with a world-renowned academic healthcare institution, Mayo Clinic Laboratories fuses diagnostic testing innovation with a 150-year history of patient-focused care. In that tradition, we advocate for delivering care as close to the patient as possible, offering a vast menu of esoteric and advanced assays that complements, rather than competes with, local care delivery.
Our proactive consultative approach helps hospital laboratories uncover their financial potential and improve profitability while keeping patient care as the focus. Through synergistic relationships, we equip lab teams and hospital executives with tailored tools and strategies to expand laboratory capabilities and improve efficiencies. This supports the growth of the lab, and the health system, into new areas of diagnostic care.
“Our business model and our mission are to support the local care of patients. We work with hospitals and hospital laboratories to help them insource testing they should to take care of their patients, and give them access to those more uncommon tests we're developing within our practice.”
William Morice II, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO, Mayo Clinic Laboratories

After mysterious neurological symptoms began in 2010, Brad Karon, M.D., Ph.D., was diagnosed with paraneoplastic syndrome, a rare condition that led to groundbreaking research and test development at Mayo Clinic. Years later, pulmonary fibrosis and a double lung transplant would test him once again — and redefine his resilience.
The laboratory test catalog is no longer just a reference list — it’s a strategic asset. By expanding its content, laboratories can improve satisfaction and experience.
